Safety Reminders for Drivers & for Kids

Drivers

• Slow down and be especially alert in the residential neighborhoods and school zones

• Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs

• Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully

• Watch for children on and near the road in the morning and after school hours

• Reduce any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Put down your phone and don’t talk or text while driving

Kids

• They should cross the street with an adult until they are at least 10 years old

• Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks

• Never run out into the streets or cross in between parked cars

• Make sure they always walk in front of the bus where the driver can see them
