Important Safety Rules for Crosswalks & School Zones
Please read these important safety rules regarding crosswalks and school zones.
When you see a crossing guard with their sign up or in the crosswalk, that means STOP! Do not proceed until the crossing guard has returned to the curb.
You may not enter a crosswalk while the guard has their stop sign up. You have to wait even if they are no longer on your side of the street. If they are in the road, you may not pass.
Do not stop in the crosswalk. Crossing guards can't cross kids with cars in the way. Please stop behind the crosswalk.
You may not turn right if a crossing guard is in the crosswalk. You endanger the lives of guards and children by doing this.
Obey the speed limit in school zones.
Be respectful to crossing guards. They are there to keep your kids safe. Please thank them for their service!
🔴 Remember
NO cell phone use in school zones.
Watch for school bus lights - Stop, Don't Pass!
