Children are on their way back to school this week, and are more excited than ever to be reunited with their classmates. They are in happy, hyper moods, which mean they are acting on emotion and may not be looking both ways before crossing the road. As a driver, it is your job to yield to them.
Redmond Police will be doing
extra enforcement in and around school zones to make sure children and citizens get off to a safe start this academic year.
Officers will be using speed trailers and enforcement regulations pertaining to parking, speed and most importantly, crosswalks.
The cameras in front of Einstein Elementary School will also be activated.
“Those traveling should always maintain safe driving habits, but especially in
school zones where children may not be paying attention,” stated Traffic Lt. Nick Almquist. “We will work with school crossing guards and school administrators to ensure they are prepared for the coming academic year.”
Remember your consequences –
- Speeding in a school zone: $189 fine (depending on speed)
- Going around a school bus when stopped: $394 fine
- Failing to stop for children in crosswalks and on sidewalks: $124 fine
