State issues trafic safety reminders as school resumes The Daily Astorian The state Department of Transportation is reminding motorists, students and parents to be careful now that school is back in session. There are 240 crashes a year in school zones, accord- ing to the department. Over the past ive years, six people have lost their lives in crashes that occurred in Oregon’s school zones. Drivers should watch for children walking or rid- ing bikes to or from school in the morning and afternoon. Speeds around school zones are mostly 20 mph. When overhead lights on school buses lash yellow, pre- pare to stop. Stop when lights turn red. Obey school crossing guards, avoid distractions while driving and follow school park- ing lot circulation plans. Younger students should walk with an adult, responsi- ble older sibling or in a group while staying focused and not using electronic devices. Walk on the sidewalk, if there is one, or walk facing trafic. Wear bright colors and relec- tive gear, especially as days get shorter. When cycling, wear a prop- erly itted helmet, bright col- ors and relective gear. Ride in the same direction as trafic. Stop at all stop signs and sig- nals and choose streets or trails with lower trafic volumes and speeds. Do not use electronic devices. Stay 6 feet away from the curb when waiting for the bus.
