As the new school year begins this month, streets and sidewalks will be filled with excited students walking, biking, and riding to school. It’s the perfect time to remind everyone about the importance of pedestrian safety.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one in every five children under the age of 15 who were killed in traffic crashes in 2021 was a pedestrian.

Here are a few key reminders for drivers:
- Slow down in school zones and stay alert.
- Always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
- Put distractions away, texting can wait.
- Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians or a school bus with its stop-arm extended. ***You are required to stop on Hwy 77 if a bus has a stop sign out, no matter what side of the highway you are on.***

Parents, make sure students remember to:
- Stay alert! Phones and headphones can wait until you’re safely across the street.
- Cross at corners or marked crosswalks.
- Look left-right-left before crossing the street.

Dove season starts September 1st and to make sure that everyone has a safe enjoyable one we have highlighted a few things from the code of ordinances to keep in mind:

👉 Hunters must be on 50+ acres and remain 1,000 feet away from any structures or roadways.

👉 Hunters do not have to own the 50+ acres but do have to have permission from the owner(s) to hunt on the property.

These ordinances are especially important during dove season because they help protect public safety while allowing for responsible hunting. They reduce the risk of accidents and ensures that hunting only takes place on authorized private property, respecting landowner rights and preventing trespassing. No one wants to get peppered on their way to school or work.
