Please watch out for kids!**Safety Reminder**

This morning (9/20/23) a student was struck by a vehicle near Tanana Middle School at approximately 7:50am. The student was transported to the hospital and this collision is under investigation.

With schools in session and Fairbanks losing more daylight each day, we are imploring drivers to use extra caution in and near school zones to prevent potential tragedies from occurring.

IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER:

• Obey Speed Limits: School zones have reduced speed limits for a reason. Please adhere to these limits and watch for signage indicating when the reduced speed zone begins and ends.

•Stop for School Buses: Be vigilant when you see a school bus with its stop arm extended and lights flashing. Stop at a safe distance to allow children to board or disembark safely.

•No Texting or Phone Use: Avoid using your mobile phone while driving, especially in school zones. Distracted driving poses a significant threat to our children's safety.

•Watch for Crosswalks: Keep a sharp eye out for pedestrian crosswalks, and always yield to pedestrians in these areas. Children may not always be as cautious as adults when crossing the street.

•Follow Parking Rules: Please adhere to designated drop-off and pick-up zones, ensuring that your vehicle does not obstruct traffic flow or create hazardous situations.

•Stay Patient: Remember that school traffic can be hectic, but patience goes a long way in preventing accidents. Plan your morning routine to allow extra time for potential delays.

•Set a Positive Example: Your children are watching and learning from your behavior. Model safe driving habits to instill a lifelong commitment to road safety.

Please prioritize youth in our community and do your part to help keep kids safe! ... See MoreSee Less
