Tips for Parents

Parents can take the following measures to reduce school-zone traffic hazards:

• Don't park across the street from the school; if this is not possible, accompany your child (using a crosswalk) as he or she crosses the street.
• Use the existing drop-off/pick-up system organized by the school.
• If a drop-off/pick-up system does not exist or is poorly set up, work with the school officials to create or improve the system.
• Reduce school zone congestion by carpooling with neighbors or friends.
• Teach and encourage children to use designated crosswalks.
• Follow instructions provided by school crossing guards.
• And of course, always remember to use seat belts and appropriate child safety seats or booster seats when riding in a car.

By following these simple recommendations, parents can play a key role in keeping their children safe.
