Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...Back-to-school season means more traffic and more risks for kids on the road. The back-to-school commute creates one of the busiest and most unpredictable traffic environments of the year. Drivers aren’t just watching for students on foot and getting on or off school buses; they’re also sharing the road with e-bike and e-scooter riders. Children may cross unexpectedly, rush toward a bus stop or emerge from between parked cars. It is illegal to accelerate and pass a school bus.
