Back-to-school season is here! We know school drop-offs, especially at the beginning of the year, can be chaotic and filled with traffic.

To remind everyone that students are back in school, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has set up electronic message boards close to school zones. These boards contain short messages, like “Students back in school” and “Slow down,” in English and Spanish.

You can find these message boards at the following locations throughout the month of August:

• August 6 to 12
  • Senter Road
  • Ocala Avenue
  • White Road
• August 18 to 24
  • Blossom Hill Road
  • King Road
  • Hostetter Road

We also suggest watching this short video on practicing traffic safety in a school zone:
