Rock Springs Police Chief Dewane Pacheco reminds drivers that the first day of school for Rock Springs students and other Sweetwater County School District #1 students is Monday morning.
Drivers need to be aware that School Zone speed limits will be in effect and drivers should always yield the right away to students in crosswalks. Â In a recent media release, Chief Pacheco stated that there will be increased enforcement of crosswalk and school zone violations.
Chief Pacheco also points out that drivers must not pass a school bus in any direction when the bus is operating flashing lights. Â This is not only a safety concern but also carries a $410.00 fine.
Sweetwater School District #2 and Green River students will start their school season on Wednesday, August 23rd.
