Please drive carefully at school.  A few traffic safety reminders for drivers:

Remember:
  • Pedestrians always have the right of way.
  • In the absence of traffic signals, drivers must always slow down or stop for pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks.
  • At stop signs and when a school crossing guard is displaying an official stop sign or flag, drivers must come to a complete stop.
  • Drivers must stop when approaching a school bus, church bus, or daycare bus that is stopped to pick up or let off children. The driver must remain stopped until the bus’ stop sign is retracted and red warning lights are turned off.
  • Wherever a school traffic safety sign is posted, drivers should slow down and watch for children.
