NORMAL – Several schools in Bloomington-Normal have resumed in-person instruction and local police are reminding motorists about school zone safety.
Officer Brad Park with the Normal Police Department says patrols will be on the lookout.
“Making sure that kids are getting to and from school safety. They will be out at school zones making traffic stops for those that are speeding or looking at their cell phone going through a school zone,” Park told WJBC’s Marc Strauss.
Park says drivers should never pass a stopped school bus while the red lights are flashing. If walking through a school zone, make sure to use the marked crosswalks.
“Our main goal every year is to have zero accidents and zero injuries in and around school zones,” said Park.
