As students of all ages head back to the classroom this week, please help keep everyone safe by following these key driving tips:

Slow down: Always obey posted speed limits in designated school zones.

Watch for pedestrians: Stay alert for children at crosswalks, sidewalk intersections, and bus stops.

Put away distractions: Keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Stop for school buses: Obey yellow and red flashing signals and stop when a bus is loading or unloading passengers.

Let's work together to make this a safe and successful school year for students, teachers, parents, drivers, and road crews alike.

A new school year means more buses, young pedestrians and families on Alabama’s roads.

As students head back to class, give yourself extra travel time and get back to the basics: slow down in school zones, watch carefully near bus stops, stop for school buses when required and keep your phone out of reach.

A little extra patience can help everyone start the school year safely.
Let’s make safety part of every school-day routine.
