School days bring congestion: Yellow school buses are picking up their charges, kids on bikes are hurrying to get to school before the bell rings, and harried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work.  It's never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present – especially before and after school.


If you're Dropping Off: 

Schools often have very specific drop-off procedures for the school year. Make sure you
know them for the safety of all kids. More children are hit by cars near schools than
at any other location
, according to the National Safe Routes to School program.


The following apply to all school zones:

Don't double park; it blocks visibility for other children and vehicles.


Don't load or unload children across the street from the school.


Carpool to reduce the number of vehicles at the school.
