Children do not always obey safety rules. They may suddenly dart out into a street to chase a ball or friend. One needs to drive carefully when around playgrounds, schools, or parks.
The speed limit in school zones is 20 mph. When driving around schools, watch for pedestrians and bicycles. Looks for safety patrols or school crossing guards. You also need to be on the lookout for school buses that may stop. When a school bus is flashing red lights you must stop until the children have boarded or exited the bus. This rule applies to traffic approaching a bus and traffic behind the bus.
You should stop for anyone crossing a street on foot and do not pass a pedestrian from behind. Do not drive on a sidewalk.
