School Safety!

PLEASE READ! There are numerous crosswalks around Douglas schools and the majority of them don't have a crossing guard. Even if they are unmanned, SD law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians within the crosswalks. Children often forget traffic rules and may not be looking out for vehicles. As drivers near a crosswalk, they need to slow down and be extra alert. If there are pedestrians anywhere near the crosswalk, drivers need to STOP and let them cross. We all need to work together to make sure our kids get to and from school safely!
