Look before you step

As summer vacation comes to an end for students, our puppet friend Dirk Donhopper reminds school children to look both ways before entering into school zone crosswalks. Clark County schools reopen for the 2014-15 school year Aug. 25. Drivers are reminded to obey speed limits when in a school zones or school crossing zones, and to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. Nevada State Law establishes speed limits in School Zones in front of schools at 15 mph and School Crossing Zones, crossings to and from, but not directly in front of a school at 25 mph. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department issued the following back-to-school safety reminder; stay alert at crosswalks, stop when school bus lights are flashing and remind drivers school-zone speeding fines start at $190. Police officers from North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Henderson and the Clark County School District will be enforcing traffic laws in school zones. (U.S. Air Force illustration by Lorenz Crespo)
