Share the road with pedestrians by stopping before the white line at stop signs and traffic lights, ensuring you’re not blocking the crosswalk. Be attentive to crossing guards and follow their signs and hand signals.
Driving near a school bus demands extra caution. When a bus activates its red warning lights, stop at least 20 feet away. Vehicles in both directions must stop unless separated by a center median. Do not proceed until the bus’s lights are off and it begins to move again.
When driving in school zones, reduce your speed and exercise heightened caution. Stay focused by avoiding distractions, such as your phone and the radio. Make complete stops at all stop signs and take an extra moment to check for nearby pedestrians.
Hupy and Abraham promotes several programs to raise awareness of distracted driving, such as texting and driving. Join others who are committed to safe driving and take the pledge today.
