The days are getting shorter and cooler, which means only thing.

School's back in session.

We especially encourage motorists to be watchful, specifically during the times when children are going and are let out of school.

Motorists also should heed the school buses when they stop to pick up or drop off children. The stop sign that is extended from school buses is the same as any other stop sign. You must obey it. If anything, it should have more significance, since children are loading and unloading from the bus, or even crossing the street.

A few more seconds to be watchful in the coming days may help avert a tragedy that no one wants to ever experience.
