Back to School Driving Safety
Schools are open again and the Belvedere Police Department would like to remind everyone to drive carefully, especially around the schools. The Belvedere Police Department will be providing extra patrol presence around the schools, especially around drop-off and pick-up times at Reed School due to construction in the area.
Safety tips to keep in mind when taking/picking up your child:
• Plan ahead and allow extra time to deliver your child to school
• Young children may dart into path of cars, so watch, watch, watch!
• Don’t assume that your child is safe in a crosswalk; tell them to stop and look both ways, if not accompanied by a crosswalk guard.
• Be familiar with school zones and speed limits at your child’s school.
• Do not let your cell phone, palm, or other wonders of technology distract you from the primary goal: the ultimate safety of your child and other children.
• Motorists must obey all traffic laws and speed limits.
• Be sure to stop for school buses that have stopped to load or unload passengers.
• When you are backing out of your driveway, be sure to watch for kids hurrying to school, either walking or on their bikes.
We take many things for granted in our daily routines: our jobs, families, and health. A blunder caused by rushed, careless driving could alter many lives, so slow down, and drive carefully!
Tricia Seyler, Police Chief
