Clark County students are out of school for summer! That means more kids will be out walking, biking, and playing near streets throughout the day.

• Be on the lookout for kids who may be distracted or may step into the street unexpectedly.

• Be especially alert and slow down when driving in neighborhoods.

• Put cellphones and other distractions in the back seat or out of sight while driving.

• Give pedestrians the right of way.

• When turning, look both ways for bikers, walkers or runners who may not be immediately visible.
