🍎 Back to School Means Back to Safety! 🚌
As students across Hendricks County head back to school this week and next, let’s all do our part to keep them safe.
🚸 Slow down in school zones and watch for reduced speed limits.
🛑 Stop for school buses when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended. Children may be crossing the road and can be difficult to see.
👀 Be extra alert around crosswalks, intersections, and neighborhoods. Kids can be unpredictable and may not always look before crossing.
📵 Put the phone down. A few seconds of distracted driving can have lifelong consequences.
🚶 Yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and be patient during busy arrival and dismissal times.
🚗 Allow extra travel time. Expect increased traffic around schools, especially during the first few weeks.
👧🧒 Parents: Talk with your children about using crosswalks, obeying crossing guards, and staying a safe distance from the curb while waiting for the bus.
Let’s work together to make this a safe and successful school year for every student, parent, bus driver, and school staff member in Hendricks County. Have a safe school year! 💙
And as always, if you see something, say something. We are here 24/7 to assist you.
