Why Is Reducing Traffic Around School Zones Important?
Traffic can make it dangerous for kids walking or biking to school. Big crowds of cars can cause accidents and slow down everyone. Reducing traffic helps keep you and your friends safe.
Ways to Reduce Traffic Around Schools
- Walk or Bike to School: Instead of driving, try walking or biking with friends or family. It’s fun and healthy!
- Carpool: Share rides with neighbors or classmates to reduce the number of cars around the school.
- Use School Buses: Riding the bus means fewer cars dropping off kids at school.
- Arrive Early or Later: Avoid the busiest times by coming to school a little earlier or later if your schedule allows.
- Follow Traffic Rules: Always cross streets at crosswalks and obey crossing guards to stay safe.
