Slow Down for School Zones: Keep Our Children Safe!

As our children head back to school, the Milton Police Department wants to remind all drivers to exercise extreme caution when driving through school zones. The safety of our children is our top priority, and we need your help to ensure they arrive at school safely.

Speed limits in school zones are in place for a reason: to protect our most vulnerable citizens. When you slow down, you give yourself more time to react to unexpected situations and avoid potential tragedies. Remember, the speed limit in school zones is 20 mph for a reason!

Here are some important reminders to keep in mind:

• Be aware of school zones and reduce your speed accordingly.
• Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles in school zones.
• Never pass a stopped school bus or attempt to go around it.
• Keep an eye out for children who may be walking or biking to school.

Let's work together to create a safe environment for our children. By slowing down and being vigilant, we can prevent accidents and ensure our kids arrive at school safely.

Remember, the life you save may be that of a child. Slow down for school zones and help us keep our community safe!

If you have any questions or concerns about school zone safety, please contact the Milton Police Department at 302-684-8547.

Let's make this school year a safe one for all!
