PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

As we near the end of summer and schools open, students will be walking,
riding their bikes, or taking the bus to and from school.  With more
pedestrian and bicycle traffic out and about, the possibility of a car
accident increases.    

 

The Moscow Police Department urges drivers to use more caution around
all of the schools and the University of Idaho.  

 

As in past years, officers will be monitoring traffic each day before
school begins and as students return home.  

 

Please remember, when approaching a school bus with yellow lights
flashing it is a warning that the bus is going to stop.  When the red
lights are flashing it warns you that the stop sign is out and you must
stop.  Watch for the red lights and look for the stop arm on the left
side of the bus.  

 

These signal lights are used by the school bus driver to let you know
the bus is about to stop to pickup or drop-off children.  

 

Take the time out of your day to keep our children safe.  Slow to 15 mph
in school zones.  

Watch for the signals on the bus as you approach.  Slow for yellow
lights and stop for red lights and the stop arm.
