WABASH, Ind. – The Wabash City Police would like to remind motorists that schools will be starting August 09. Therefore, the Wabash City Police is asking that motorists be cautious in traveling due to school children walking, riding bicycles, and waiting at bus stops. Due to the construction on North Wabash Street, we are asking for motorists to pay close attention due to the alternative routes for O.J. Neighbors. There will be children at many different locations throughout the city. Be aware that children sometimes forget about motor vehicles and may dart into traffic. The Wabash City Police always urges caution when driving, but especially while the children, parents, bus drivers, and motorists get accustomed to the new traffic routes. Be an alert driver and be prepared to stop for school buses loading and unloading. Failure to stop for a school bus that has its lights activated and bus arm extended could result in a citation or even worse an injured child. The Wabash City Police will be moving its speed trailer to different locations reminding motorists to slow down. Motorists will see a new addition to the school zones with the newly installed electronic solar powered speed signs. Again, these tools are another way to remind motorists of their speed and keeping children safe. Lets all work together and keep the area children safe.
