As families across the Greater Puget Sound Area gear up for a new school season, we want to help keep students safe on their daily commute. A few simple safety reminders can make a significant difference:
- Walking: Remind students to stay on sidewalks, use crosswalks, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the road.
- Biking: A properly fitted helmet is essential. Instruct kids to ride with traffic, stop fully before crossing, and choose routes with less congestion.
- Riding the bus: Students should wait several feet back from the curb, board only after the bus has stopped, and avoid walking directly in front of or behind the bus.
- Drop-offs: Drivers should follow school zone speed limits, respect drop-off procedures, and never pass a stopped school bus.
- Teen drivers: Review safe driving basics, including seatbelt use, staying off devices, and following posted speed limits.
