Here are some safety tips that motorists should follow to help keep children safe on their way to and from school.
• School zones are visibly marked with neon yellow signs. The speed limit in school zones is 20 miles per hour.
• If a child is within 300 feet of a crosswalk, cars must slow down to 20 miles per hour.
• It is against the law to drive through a crosswalk while a crossing guard or student is in the crosswalk.
• Students should cross only at crosswalks and look both ways before crossing.
• Children riding bikes on the sidewalk must follow pedestrian rules. Bicyclists traveling in the traffic lane must follow vehicle laws.
The crosswalk tips were provided by the Edmonds School District.
