Weekly Tip - Traffic Safety Near our Schools is Needed ALL Year Long!
The school year is still in session! Although we are quickly approaching the summer break, it is important for all parents, commuters, students, and pedestrians to practice good traffic safety near our schools!
At least twice daily, several hundred automobiles converge on each of our City schools to deliver and pick up students. Severe traffic congestion from illegally stopped vehicles and other violations place our children in an unsafe environment. Traffic problems near schools are not unique to the City of Arcadia . Like towns throughout the San Gabriel Valley
In January of 2006, the Arcadia Police Department began using video cameras to record vehicular violations near our schools, as they occur. Traffic Officers later process the video and mail citations to the registered owner of the violator vehicle. Increased compliance with these types of traffic laws will significantly improve the safety of our children. Our enforcement efforts continue throughout the school year and we encourage all to drive and commute responsibly.
Here are a few things to remember:
Here are a few things to remember:
DO NOT double-park
DO NOT drop off or pick up a passenger while stopped in traffic
DO NOT stop in red or no parking zones
DO NOT be part of the problem
DO drive safely!
DO be part of the solution!
