“Back to School”
season means more children and their parents will be walking on busy streets and crossing them. Whether you work for a school or your business is near a school, you must be prepared by repainting cross walks, adding signage, and alerting vehicular traffic.
1. Set up School Crossing Stanchions early so drivers who regularly pass your building will begin to be aware before school actually begins. The higher the reflectivity, the better.
2. Repaint your crosswalk lines so there is no confusion or room for error.
3. Ensure Crossing Guards or other essential personnel are seen by wearing reflective vests.
4. Add Stop Signs to ensure vehicles come to a complete stop before crosswalks or other busy pedestrian areas.
Being prepared for more foot traffic reduces your risk of accidents and liabilities, improving the safety of walkers and employees at your property.
