Tuesday, August 24th, marks the start of the new school year for Dublin’s public schools. Traffic at and near local school sites can be hectic before the school day starts and when the school day ends. Dublin Police Services would like to remind students, parents, and area residents to allow extra time when traveling during school drop off and pick up times, to drive cautiously, to look both ways when crossing the street, and to show common courtesy toward one another. The speed limit around schools when children are present is 25 miles per hour.

Dublin Police Services will be providing traffic education and enforcement around all Dublin schools during back-to-school week. Residents will be reminded of California’s ban on cell phone use while driving and its potentially deadly consequences.
