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.
