SALISBURY, Md. — With the new school year underway, the Salisbury Police Department is reminding drivers to exercise caution on the roads as students head back to class. Officers emphasize the importance of slowing down in school zones, stopping for school buses displaying flashing red lights, and paying attention to crossing guards and children on the move. Drivers are also urged to avoid distractions, including texting, while behind the wheel. “The backpacks are packed, the crosswalks are busy, and those big yellow buses are back on the roads,” the department said in a social media post, highlighting the return of students to classrooms. Salisbury Police encourage all motorists to “drive like it’s your kid out there,” underlining the need for vigilance to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and crossing guards alike. The department wishes the community a safe and enjoyable start to the school year.
