SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco Police Department, Walk SF, and The Bike Coalition will be teaming up to remind individuals using the road to be aware that school is back in session and children will be on the streets.
Enforcement efforts were out on August 18, the first official day of school in the region to highlight traffic safety and commitment to Vision Zero. Distracted driving, drivers failing to yield to pedestrians and speeding in the 15 mph school safety zones were enforced.
“At SFPD we know that education and enforcement are the key components to achieving Vision Zero,” said San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr. “As kids head back to school, the Police Department will be doing our part to make sure they get to and from school safely.”
SFPD station personnel, school resource officers, and the traffic company will be enforcing action throughout the school year. Additional information can be found at the San Francisco Safe Routes to School Partnership visit www.sfsaferoutes.org.
