Some children will be taking new routes to school and may not be familiar This summer the Barrington Fire Department helped host the with crosswalks and other dangerous traffic areas on their route to Barrington Junior Women’s Club Safety Town event along with school. the Barrington Police Department. Dozens of children learned a great deal about safety during the program. For more information, The American Automobile Association (AAA) states that the greatest go to http://www.living60010.com/BJWC-Safety-Town.aspx. threat faced by children today is motor vehicle crashes, whether walking, cycling, or as a passenger in a vehicle. Adult drivers need to be responsible and use extra care when children may be present as you would want others to do for your children or grandchildren.

In addition, please remember that the use of cell phones is prohib- ited in school zones when children may be present and texting is illegal while driving your vehicle at any time. Drivers are required to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks in general, and in particular, need to be cautious when children are present.

With attentive driving, we will be off to another safe school year.
