Today is the first day for students to return to school in Teton County, Wyoming, and Idaho. That means motorists need to be extra cautious around schools and intersections and be aware of frequent stops for school busses around area streets and highways.
The Town of Jackson and the Jackson Police Department remind motorists, it is an exciting time for children, especially children who will be attending school for the very first time. Unfortunately, this also means that young, inexperienced children are in the traffic mix walking along the side of roads and waiting for buses. They ask drivers to watch carefully for children near school buildings, in areas where school buses are traveling, and where there are signs for school zones and bus stops.
Remember, if you are approaching a school bus from either the front or behind, and its yellow lights are flashing, the bus is preparing to stop. If the buses red lights are flashing you must stop. That includes the four-lane Highway 89 south of Jackson.
