It seems like only a few weeks ago that the school speed limit signs stopped blinking, kids stopped getting on and off the buses and the schoolhouses were closed.

Whether it was or wasn't is beside the point - they are now open.  The laws about stopping behind a school bus with blinking lights, driving at or under the school speed limit should be taken seriously by everyone.  It annoys my wife and me when we see a young mother or father with a toddler in the car drive above the speed limit in a school zone when the sign is blinking.  We wonder what they will expect of others when their child starts attending school.  We also wish there was a police officer waiting for them down the road.

Please, be aware of the children and the law.  If nothing else, be aware the penalty for violating school bus and school speed laws are serious and expensive offenses in the Commonwealth.

Art:  Can't tell you how many people violate the 25 mph signs in front of Marstellar Middle School here in my community.  In general, there is a lack of obedience with traffic laws lately.
