School Zone Bicycle Accidents and Injury Prevention
Collisions between vehicles and bicycles are particularly dangerous near school zones, where children and teens may be commuting on bicycles or walking. Even low-speed impacts can lead to serious injuries, including fractures, contusions, and soft tissue trauma.
Drivers in school zones are encouraged to reduce speed, remain vigilant for cyclists and pedestrians, and anticipate sudden movements near crosswalks or driveways. For young riders, wearing protective gear such as helmets and reflective clothing is essential for reducing the risk of severe injury.
