GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A concerned parent of a student at Edison Middle School says something needs to be done about drivers failing to stop at stop signs outside the school.
For the past 4 weeks, while waiting to pick up his son, Otis Day has videoed vehicles breezing through stop signs and posted the videos on Snapchat.
They’ve gotten thousands of views.
Day says he’s concerned for the kid’s safety.
“Every day I watch him and the other kids try to cross, but they can’t cross because not everybody stops. Sometimes they’ll stop at the one stop sign but they won’t stop at the other stop sign.”
In the latest video, that lasts a little over 2 minutes, Day finds something very perplexing.
“Every single car, did not come to a complete stop. I started to give credit for almost stops.”
Green Bay Police Captain Kevin Warych says in any situation, once they determine a problem, they will send officers to enforce traffic laws and make sure everyone’s safe.
“There are a lot more variables that drivers need to be aware of when they’re around those schools in the city, so that they’re following the traffic laws, so that they’re not going to put themselves or any other children or people in danger.”
As for Day, he says education is key.
“I want people to just start paying attention. If you’re going to roll through a stop sign maybe you’ll think 2, 3, 4 times if you’re in a school zone.”
