As Louisiana students head back to school, it’s the perfect time for parents, drivers, and school staff to brush up on essential safety tips. At Broussard, David & Moroux, we care about protecting our community, especially its youngest. Here are a few key reminders to help keep everyone safe this school year:
- Watch for School Zones: Slow down and obey posted speed limits. Speeding in school zones is not only dangerous—it’s illegal.
- Be Alert for Pedestrians: Children may not always look both ways before crossing. Stay vigilant, especially near crosswalks and bus stops.
- Bus Safety Matters: Never pass a stopped school bus with its stop sign extended. It’s a major traffic violation and a serious safety risk.
- Bike and Helmet Safety: Make sure your child wears a properly fitted helmet and knows the rules of the road if biking to school.
- Avoid Distracted Driving: Put the phone down. Texting or calling while driving near schools can have tragic consequences.
