School Zones Get Riskier This Year | Savannah News

With nearly two million kids returning to classrooms in Georgia, traffic safety officials are sounding the alarm: school zones are about to get dangerously busy. Their “School’s Open – Drive Carefully” campaign highlights that the commute is often riskier than the classroom, with school buses being illegally passed over 8,000 times in a single day — totaling nearly 1.5 million violations annually. The biggest danger? Kids getting on or off buses, where distracted drivers, speeding, or failing to stop can have deadly consequences. This year, they’re also warning about the growing threat of e-bikes and e-scooters on the road. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
