School Crossing Reminders

The Erie Police Department wants to remind kids, parents, and motorists to be careful as the new school year begins. There are several things to keep in mind:

Parents of younger children – talk with your children and remind them they need to always cross at crosswalks and never run between parked cars into the street.
When using crosswalks, make sure the child crosses with the walk sign and/or when traffic is clear in both directions.
Motorists – drive cautiously and remember to drive at/or under the posted speed limit. The Erie Police Department will be enforcing the speed limit, especially in school zones.
Motorists are also cautioned to pay attention to their surroundings. Distracted driving is dangerous, especially when combined with kids heading to/from school.

If careless driving or suspicious activity is observed, please contact the Erie Police Department through Boulder County Dispatch at 303-441-4444.

We hope everyone has a great start to the new school year and stays safe. As always, please contact the Erie Police Department if you have any questions or concerns.
