With one new roundabout already open and two more set to open this year, it’s a great time for a quick refresher on navigating a single-lane roundabout! 🔄

Just remember four simple steps:

🚗 Slow down
👀 Look left & yield to traffic already in the roundabout
➡️ Enter when clear
💡 Signal & exit

That’s it! A few simple steps help keep traffic moving safely and smoothly.

Some schools in Ottawa County will be getting back to class this week!

Make sure you do your part to keep children safe this school year! When you see a bus stopped along the road with its flashers on that you stop, too!

August is Back to School Month. In a normal year, 500,000 buses nationwide take 26 million students to and from school each day. Adding field trips, sports and other activities means buses log 10 billion miles every year. See the red flashing lights of a bus? STOP! Video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ukcCqmJzCPA
