GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — The school year is starting this week in Green Bay, Appleton, and Oshkosh, along with many other districts in the area.
That means kids crossing streets and active school zone speed limits.
“I think it’s always important that drivers are paying attention and slowing down, but now that we’re getting back to the school year, I think it’s important to hit those points even further,” said Appleton Traffic Safety Officer Ryan McCord on Monday. “The speed limits reduce quite a bit.”
Officers will be stepping up enforcement around school zones and making sure drivers are stopping for school busses showing their warning lights.
“Be conscious of all the kids on the sidewalks and walking to school,” said Green Bay Police Commander Kevin Warych. “Be sure to give those school busses ample stopping distance.”
Speeding through a school zone could cost you heavily.
