As a parent, it’s frustrating and scary, and as a school official you have a dangerous liability on your hands. School property is always full of children, adults, cars and buses, which presents a great potential for accidents and injuries.

- Pedestrian crosswalk signs
- Caution signs
- School bus stop signs
- Pedestrian crossing signs
- Playground signs
- Yield to pedestrian signs, and more
Tips for School Zone Traffic Safety
Keeping school zones safe is not just the job of traffic signs. In addition to traffic safety signs, there are some simple tips that each driver can follow in order to keep people at schools safe. Here are just a few tips that can supplement your traffic signs:
- Drivers should remember that pedestrians always have the right of way.
- In the absence of traffic signs, drivers ought to slow down or stop for pedestrians whether they are in marked or unmarked crosswalks.
- Drivers must stop when approaching a school bus that is picking up or dropping off children. The driver must remain stopped until the bus’ stop sign is pulled in and warning lights are turned off.
- Drivers must slow down and watch for children wherever a school traffic safety sign is posted.
- All motorists must come to a complete stop at stop signs and when a school crossing guard is displaying an official stop sign or flag.
Traffic signs serve many purposes everywhere, but are especially effective on school property. Following these tips, along with the instructions on traffic safety signs posted at your child’s school, can ensure that more people stay safe and accidents are reduced.
