Parents and students play a key role in back‑to‑school safety. 💙💚📚 Alabama Law Enforcement Agency encourages families to review safe routes, remind younger children to avoid entering the road unexpectedly, and reinforce seat belt use.

Student drivers should slow down, keep phones put away, and limit distractions from passengers 💙🚗💚

Together, we can make this school year safe from the first day to the last.

With more students walking and biking to school, 💙🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️💚 Alabama Law Enforcement Agency encourages everyone to stay alert and make safe choices! Students should use sidewalks, cross at marked crosswalks, and look left, right, and left again before crossing.

Establish eye contact with drivers, avoiding using phones or headphones, and wear bright or reflective clothing during low‑light conditions. These tips will make all the difference! 💙💚

Let’s keep our sidewalks, crosswalks, and neighborhoods safe for every child.

As school buses return to the roads, 💙🚌💚 Alabama Law Enforcement Agency urges motorists to stop when flashing red lights appear and the stop arm extends. Never pass a stopped school bus when prohibited by law.

Students should arrive early, wait safely away from the road, and approach only when the bus has fully stopped and the driver signals it’s safe. 💙👋💚

Let’s work together to keep every child safe at the bus stop.

As students head back to school, 💙💚 drivers will see busy roads, school buses making frequent stops, and more young pedestrians around neighborhoods and school zones. ALEA reminds everyone to slow down, stay alert, and put distractions away while driving. 💙🚗💚

Drivers should allow extra travel time during morning drop‑off and afternoon dismissal, watch closely for children walking or biking, and never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians. Together, we can help protect Alabama’s students.
