Safe Routes to School-Crosswalk Safety

Forest Hill Families-Please be mindful to use the crosswalks. We see many families parking on McCoy and crossing in the middle of the road. This is not only unsafe but also illegal. The safest place to cross the street is at a marked crosswalk or at a corner if a crosswalk is not nearby. A pedestrian is more likely to be hit if they are crossing midblock where drivers are not expecting them. Always remember to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before entering the crosswalk and crossing the street!
