This summer:
- Slow down in neighborhoods, school zones, and around parks
- Keep your phone down
- Stop at stop signs and crosswalks
- Watch for kids stepping out from between parked cars
šø Kids are out. Slow down.
School's wrapping up and Baltimore's kids are spending more time outside, walking, biking, playing, crossing the street. They don't always look first. They don't always cross at the corner. The job of seeing them belongs to whoever's behind the wheel.
