Explanation
If you see a school crossing guard or children in a crosswalk, you must yield and stop if necessary. Always stop at the stop line and never within the crosswalk.
When driving in school zones, proceed with extra caution. Watch for children crossing, school buses loading or unloading, and parked vehicles that may block your view.
