“There will be kids on foot and on bicycles, clustering around bus stops, and high school students in their own vehicles,†he said. “The result will be an increase in traffic everywhere, especially around the hours that school starts and lets out.â€
Law enforcement officers throughout the county ask that all drivers be particularly watchful now that school is back in session, and to observe all special speed limits in school zones.
