Back-to-school safety starts before the first bell rings. Whether students walk, bike, ride the bus, get dropped off, or drive themselves, a few simple reminders can help protect everyone on the road.
• Walkers: Use sidewalks and crosswalks, look both ways, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
• Bicyclists: Wear a properly fitted helmet, ride with traffic, and stop completely at intersections.
• Bus riders: Wait well back from the curb, allow the bus to stop fully before boarding, and stay in the driver’s line of sight when crossing.
• Families at drop-off: Follow school traffic procedures, slow down in school zones, and never pass a stopped school bus.
• Teen drivers: Buckle up, eliminate distractions, follow the speed limit, and give pedestrians and buses extra space.
At Joe Conrad Insurance Agency, we are proud to support safer communities across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Please share these reminders with a parent, student, or new driver in your life.
