Our View: Slow down in school zones

As school has started in Green River, we’d like to remind residents to slow down while driving through school zones.

After a long summer vacation where the zones didn’t apply, it’s easy to forget to slow down to 20 mph while passing by a school.

Another reminder we’d like to give is to keep an eye out for children as they’re walking to and from school. While school crossing guards help children cross the streets near Green River schools, many of the streets leading to those schools don’t have crossing guards to help children. As such, it’s our responsibility to be vigilant when driving to ensure accidents don’t happen.
