Chesterfield County schools open Tuesday, Sept. 7 and with that comes school-zone safety enforcement. There are more than 58,000 students who attend 62 Chesterfield County schools and police are stressing the importance of traffic safety.

Chesterfield County Police are reminding motorists to:
Slow down
Heed flashing signs and reduced speed limits within all school zones
Stop for school buses picking up and dropping off students
Be cognizant of students walking or bicycling at or near crosswalks
Drive cautiously on neighborhood streets where students are likely to gather for school bus pick up

Additional officers will be posted at and near school zones beginning Sept. 7. Please help make the Chesterfield County school year safer for students and motorists by driving responsibly.
