Back to School Safety: Slow Down in School Zones!

As students head back to class, it's essential to remember that school zones require extra caution. The Lochbuie Police Department is reminding all drivers to slow down and stay alert in school zones to ensure the safety of our children.

With the new school year underway, our roads will be filled with excited students walking, biking, or taking the bus to school. As a driver, it's your responsibility to help keep them safe. Please be aware of the following:

• Reduced speed limits are in place in school zones to protect pedestrians and cyclists.
• Be cautious of students who may be distracted or not paying attention to traffic.
• Watch for school buses and follow the rules of the road when they're stopped or in motion.
• Keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially in crosswalks and near bus stops.

By slowing down and staying vigilant, you can help prevent accidents and ensure a safe commute for our students. Remember, the safety of our children is everyone's responsibility.

Let's work together to make this school year a safe and successful one! I.

Stay safe, and let's slow down in school zones!
