Alaska School Driving Zones
Alaska School Driving Zones are designated areas or where drivers should be more cautious and look for children. Children can often be unpredictable, so drivers should slow down and stay alert to keep our children safer.
Slow Down
The speed limit in Alaska School Driving Zones decreases so that drivers can stop quicker. Children may not see cars coming when they cross the road, or may be distracted by other children, parents, teachers or other vehicles. In some cases, children do not look before crossing the road because they do not consider the danger. It is up to drivers to allow themselves enough time to stop quickly in case a child runs out in front of their vehicle.
Stay Alert
Cars may stop quickly in school zones. It is important to stay alert, so you do not hit another vehicle, or person. Put distractions such as cell phones and food away to focus on driving. Prepare for sudden stops and watch your surroundings. When possible, crack a window so you can listen to sounds outside of your vehicle to help stay alert.
