Back-to-school season brings increased risks on the roads. Pedestrians and drivers must be aware of their surroundings to avoid accidents. Music and phones can be significant distractions, making it difficult for individuals to notice potential hazards.

Bike riders have rights on the roads and drivers should be prepared to share. When approaching crosswalks, bike riders are expected to dismount and walk.

Further guidance on road safety is available, including tips for parents of children who walk to school.
