As students head back to school on Aug. 29, the Fremont Police Department is preparing for higher-than-normal traffic volume around schools and will conduct enforcement patrols throughout the school year, starting with added patrols during the first week of school.
Along with their increased presence, the police urge parents and drivers to be extra cautious and proactive about traffic safety. Specifically, officers recommended that parents plan a route with their children ahead of time and practice walking it before the start of the school year. This will allow parents and children to identify any potential dangers and plan a route with the fewest number of traffic crossings, according to police.
