Back-to-school season is here, and so are our crossing guards!
Here are a few tips to keep students, families, and crossing guards safe in Hammonton as we head into a new school year.
5 Safety reminders for drivers:
- Yield to crossing guards and always stop when directed.
- Be extra alert during the morning and afternoon when pedestrian activity is higher.
- Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk. There may be a child crossing that you can’t see.
- Keep crosswalks and intersections clear when stopped in traffic.
- Slow down in school zones and residential areas.
Do your part: slow down, stay alert, and please, follow their directions.
