SHPD: Back to School Safety
As the 2018-2019 school year gets back into gear, the Signal Hill Police Department is focused on promoting student safety.
- Motorists should obey all signs, signals and crossing guards in school zones
- Do not double park in the street (this is a citeable offense)
- Use designated school drop off zones
- Slow down and watch for children walking/biking to school and for children exiting a school bus
Please be extra careful when driving near our schools and be patient. We can all do our part to keep our children safe.
