Rockville City Police Department would like to provide some “Back-To-School” Safety Tips for
both parents and returning students:
Back-To-School Driving Safety –
•
Observe school zone speeds.
•
Obey crossing guards
•
STOP when a bus has engaged their flashing lights and has extended the
side “stop” sign.
•
WATCH OUT FOR DARTING CHILDREN. Pedestrian traffic
increases, especially in the areas surrounding schools.
•
Exercise caution around school buses.
Traveling to and from School -
•
Plan a walking route to school or to the bus stop with your child and
practice walking that route before school starts. Try to choose a route that is the most
direct way with the fewest street crossings, and if possible, intersections that will have
crossing guards in place. Try to avoid isolated areas, parks, etc.
•
Teach your child not to talk to, accept gifts, or rides from strangers.
•
If your child is a walker or bike rider – teach them where the “Safe
Place/Houses” are (such as a trusted neighbor’s house, a store, etc.) in case they become
in a situation that they feel danger.

Teach your child to obey the traffic laws and rules, whether they are
riding a bicycle, walking or riding on the bus.
•
If your child is riding a bicycle to school, make sure they always wear a
helmet and not to wear loose fitting clothing that could get cause in the spokes or pedals
of the bicycle.
•
Teach your child to arrive early at their bus stop and to stay out of the
street.
•
Teach your Child that when boarding or exiting the bus that they should
wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.
•
Teach your child not to bend down in front of the bus, whether it’s to tie
their shoe laces, pick up a dropped object, etc., as the bus driver may not see him/her
before starting to move.
•
Make sure that your child knows his/her home phone number and address,
as well as their parents work or cell phone number, a trusted family member or friend’s
phone number and how to call 9-1-1.
