School is back in session across the region and the morning drive changes with it. Buses stop every few blocks, children cross mid-block and drivers who had the road to themselves all summer are still driving like it's July.
Three habits worth building this week:
✔️ Put your phone away completely (it’s also the law!)
✔️ Leave 10 minutes earlier so you're not the one rolling a stop sign
✔️ Watch for kids stepping out from between parked cars near bus stops
