School starts back this week and the Y also has upcoming traffic changes as the construction progresses. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of a few safety tips. One of the most important being the only road in the entire school district you can legally and safely pass a stopped school bus is on 83/84 North of the Y.

Here are just a few tips from https://www.txdot.gov/safety/traffic-safety-campaigns/back-to-school.html

Tips for driving in school zones:
Look for flashing school zone lights in the morning and afternoon and obey school zone speed limits. Traffic fines increase in school zones.
Stay alert and put your phone out of reach. Using a handheld electronic device while driving in an active school zone is against the law.
Stop and yield to people in crosswalks.
Drop off and pick up your kids in your school’s designated areas, not the middle of the street.
Be on the lookout for children gathered at bus stops.
Watch for kids who might dart across the street or between vehicles.

Tips for children walking or biking to school:
Use sidewalks. If there’s not one, it's best to walk on the left side of the street facing traffic.
Cross the street only at intersections or crosswalks. Wait for the signal and look left, right and left again before crossing.
Always obey crossing guards.
Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street. Never assume a driver sees you.
Look for traffic when stepping off a bus or from behind parked vehicles.
Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or scooter.
Don’t be distracted by electronic devices that take your eyes and ears off the road.
