Slow down for school
May 25, 2007
Vehicles rush through school zones on and near base, putting students at risk. Depending on the area, most school speed zones require motorists to slow to 20-25 mph when the amber lights are flashing. All motorists must obey directions by the crossing guard. "Many of our children attend schools near base, such as Valley Hi Elementary, Lackland City Elementary and Rayburn Middle Schools. It is our job to do everything possible to protect them. That means slowing down to the posted speed limit and listening to the crossing guards," said Brig. Gen. Darrell Jones, a former 37th Training Wing commander. "I would rather have our people show up two minutes later because they were watching out for our kids than have one of our young students injured due to impatience and careless driving." According to the City of San Antonio Municipal Court Web site, the fine for speeding in a school zone is $202 for the first 10 miles over the speed limit and $5 for each additional mile over. The fine for passing a stopped school bus is $638. (USAF photo by Alan Boedeker)
