ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

Because there will be an increased number of kids walking or riding bikes to and from school, Oro Valley police have issued six reminders to the community.

• When a median is not present on a roadway, you cannot pass a school bus when it stops, displays its stop sign, and flashes red lights. This includes both directions of travel. 
• The speed limit in a school zone is 15 miles per hour. Drivers must be at or below that 15-mile mark prior to entering a school zone. 
• You cannot pass other vehicles while in a school zone.
• Pay attention to the crossing guards near school zones. Be prepared to stop and watch for their directions.
• When a pedestrian enters a school crosswalk, drivers are required to stop.
• It is a primary offense to talk or text while driving in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, unless a hands-free device is being used. Using a cell phone while driving is not allowed in Oro Valley either.

Due to an influx of school-related traffic, drivers should plan ahead and begin their morning routines a bit earlier, in case of any traffic delays.
