Next Wednesday, August 28, 2013 is the first day of school. As part of an initiative to encourage more kids to walk or bike to school and to educate drivers about the dangers of pedestrian crossings, the St Albans Police Department is planning to have in increased number of uniformed officers out that morning conducting both traffic enforcement and education of the kids. Officers will be at the major school crossings talking to kids about traffic safety and additional Officers will be involved in conducting traffic enforcement. Officers will be at or near the following locations:

Aldis St @ North Elm St
Federal St @ Aldis
South Main St @ SATEC
South Main St at BFA

Officers will be concentrating on motor vehicle operators who fail to yield to pedestrians in designated crossings, speeding vehicles in school zones and stop sign violations. All motorists are reminded that with school back in session, more traffic will be on the roads and children will be walking or biking to school. To reduce the dangers, motor vehicle operators are urged to be attentive and cautious, calm and patient with other vehicle operators and pedestrians, and mindful of all traffic laws. Anyone with questions may call the St Albans Police Department at 524-2166.
