Marietta police caution drivers in school zones

The Marietta Police Department is issuing several reminders to drivers in the city's school zones to enhance safety.

Keep your full attention on the roadway.
Watch for children and parents gathering at bus stops on street corners.
Since vehicular and pedestrian traffic is increasing, especially in subdivisions and apartment complexes, slow down.
Make sure to allow extra time to get to work or drop off children at school since congestion is increasing.
Speed limits within school zones are strictly enforced.
State law requires that traffic, in both directions, is required to stop for school buses loading and unloading their passengers. The only exception to this law is when there is a divided highway separated by a raised median and you are in the lane of traffic opposite that of the school bus.
