A Newton police officer has been present at Burr most mornings and afternoons for the past week to enforce parking and traffic regulations (with actual parking tickets and moving violations instead of the friendly "reminder" tickets many have become accustomed to.) As a result, there has been much greater compliance with existing regulations, providing a clear demonstration of how much better and safer drop-off and pick-up can be when everyone is patient and follows the rules. This enforcement will continue indefinitely, on a periodic basis, to help ensure the safety of our children. If you have any questions, please email BurrSafeRoutes@gmail.com or contact Ms. Johal.
Very Important! In just 3 days last week, at least 5 drivers were issued tickets for passing the school bus while students were getting on or off the bus. If a school bus (or any school pupil transport vehicle) has its lights flashing and a stop sign extended, you must stop. It is the law. It does not matter which side of the road you are traveling on. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the stop sign folds back. A first violation of this law is a $250 fine and points on your license, and can cause a license suspension. (Even if a police officer is not present, a violation can be issued based on a bus driver's report, and the police have instructed drivers to alert them to any violations.) |
