OKCPS teams up with AAA, police to keep roads safe for kids

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Oklahoma City Public Schools are working with AAA and Oklahoma City police to keep roads safe for students back in school.

There are some cars that aren't as cautious driving through school zones, even with Oklahoma City Public Schools back in session.

There are several ways to avoid a car accident in a school zone, which is where AAA's safety program comes in.

School-zone safety tips

• Slow down. There are speed limits for a reason.
• Come to a complete stop.
• Eliminate distractions. Your text message can wait.
• Check for children around you before slowly reversing.
• Watch for bicycles. Share the road.
• Talk to your teen.
