As families across South Texas get ready for another school year, our team at MTZ Insurance Agency wants to share a few quick reminders to help keep students safe on their way to and from campus.
Walking to school?
• Use sidewalks when available
• Cross only at marked crosswalks
• Make eye contact with drivers before stepping out
• Walk in groups when you can
Riding a bike?
• A properly fitted helmet is a must
• Ride with traffic on the right side
• Stop fully before crossing
• Choose routes with lighter traffic when possible
Taking the bus?
• Stand several feet back from the curb
• Wait until the bus fully stops before boarding
• Avoid walking in front of or behind the bus without making eye contact with the driver
Getting dropped off?
• Follow school zone speed limits
• Stick to your school’s drop-off procedures
• Never pass a bus that’s loading or unloading
Teen drivers?
• Seatbelts for every passenger
• Phones and devices put away
• Obey posted speed limits
We hope these tips make the back-to-school transition a little smoother. If your family needs help reviewing auto or home coverage before the busy season starts, our team is here to help across Hebbronville and all of South Texas.
