Back to School Safety Month
August is Back to School safety month. Slow down and look out for students in school zones.
As children head back to school drivers, cyclists, and motorcyclists are reminded to be extra careful while driving through school zones.
“Please drive like it is your child, grandchild, niece or nephew walking or riding their bike to school,” Riverside Sheriff Department Southwest Station- Deputy Opice said. “Pick-up and drop-off times can be hectic, but it's important to be patient and stay safe as children are getting to and from school.”
