Why Are Bicycle Crashes Near Schools a Safety Issue?
Areas surrounding schools often see heavy traffic during arrival and dismissal times. Parents dropping off children, buses, and student drivers can create busy conditions on nearby streets.
Students traveling by bicycle or on foot share the road with vehicles in these areas. Reduced speeds, marked crossings, and crossing guards are commonly used to help improve safety where students travel.
Local communities sometimes review traffic patterns near schools after incidents occur. Road design, signage, and traffic flow can all affect how safely students can move through the area.
Observing posted speed limits and staying alert for children on bikes or crossing streets can help reduce the risk of crashes near school zones.
