Educate Drivers
in the Community to respect School Zones
- Develop PSAs:
- PSA Idea: Little Child in Football
outfit going into a school zone.
- PSA Idea: DON’T
CROSS THE LINE! Build a PSA to inform drivers
that it is illegal to cross a crosswalk with a
Crossing Guard in it. Have a small child shuffling
stuff into a backpack looking frazzled towards
her friends walking home. Her friends are at the
crosswalk with a crossing guard entering the street
to cross them. A car is getting ready to turn right
across the crosswalk. As the crossing guard gets
the kids to the opposite side of the roadway, the
little girl runs to catch up to her friends. The
SUV turning right decides that the kids are on
the other side of the multi-lane road and it is
clear to go (EVEN THOUGH THE CROSSING GUARD IS
STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET STOPPING TRAFFIC!)
Show the little girl about to run in front of the
turning SUV.
- PSA Idea: AAA of Southern California
already has a PSA about parents parking in the red
zone, talking on cell phones driving through crossing
guards and other things parents routinely do in our
school zones for convenience. Michael Geeser is going
to try to get a copy of it for us to view.
