Safe Driving Near Elementary Schools

I think driversshould be more careful near elementary schools.
One reason is that there is a lot of traffic near elementarv schools,
especiallyearly in the morning and after school. At my son's •hool,
it's very busy in the morning. Many parents their children
at school, and school buses come and go. In the afternoon. ifs just
as busy because the buses and the parents to PICk up the
children, so there is a lot of traffic.
Another reason _thatdrivers be careful is that it's sometimes
difficult to see small childrennear the_cars.so:ne parents ivalk with
their children to school, but other children can bv themselves.
A lot of drivers have large cars, and they can-t see the children, Some
children cross between the cars and behind the buses. so drivers
go slowly near schools. Sometimes,a child runs into the street
without looking both ways.
The final reason is that some drivers don't pay attention-orthey
are distractedby their cellphÄCTh@1faZl better put down their
cellphones and pay c oser attenuon to all the activity.In conclusion,
drivers must be very careful when they drive near elementary schools.

In most states, the speed

limit in school zones is
between 15 and 25 mph.
