Enforcers to start with warnings, urge drivers to leave earlier for school drop‑off
Summary
Officials said the first days of school‑zone enforcement will emphasize warnings over citations to let drivers adapt, while urging people to leave earlier and give themselves more travel time to prevent unsafe maneuvers.
An agency official said officers will likely begin the school‑season enforcement period by issuing warnings rather than immediate tickets, but emphasized that preventing injuries is the top priority. "The 1st couple of days will probably be more warnings than tickets just because we understand, it's new, but as we get back in the swing of things, but even from day 1, we don't want anyone to get hurt," the official said.
The speaker urged drivers to leave earlier to allow more travel time and to be visible and watchful for buses making frequent stops during pick‑up and drop‑off. They reiterated that officers will stop cars as needed to keep children safe and asked the public to remember standard bus signal rules for yellow and red lights.
