Rear-facing. Forward-facing. Booster. Seat belt. Don’t rush to the next stage. Keep your child in each car seat phase for as long as they meet the height and weight limits. #MCPNews #MCPD #childpassengersafetyweek

Little passengers. Big responsibility. During Child Passenger Safety Week, take a few minutes to make sure your child is in the right car seat, installed correctly and buckled up properly - every ride, every time. Because the safest trip starts before you ever leave the driveway. #MCPNews #MCPD #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek #CarSeatSafety

⚠️Twenty Feet⚠️ 🚍Give school buses space🚍 Stay at least 20 feet back from a stopped school bus when its 🚨red lights🚨 are flashing. More space means more room for children to cross safely. @VisionZeroMC @MCPS @MCPSEspanol @mcfrsPIO #schoolbussafety #backtoschool

DYK - More drivers illegally pass stopped school buses in the afternoon compared to the morning? Reminder that drivers must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus with flashing red lights unless there is physical separation between you and the school bus.

School is back in session, and school buses are back on the roads. Stopping for a school bus when its red lights are flashing and stop arm is extended isn’t just being courteous, it’s the law! #MDOTsafety

This Labor Day weekend, remember that your plans shouldn't cost lives — yours or others. If you plan to drink, make sure your plan includes a safe way home before the first sip: ⭕ Schedule a rideshare ⭕ Call a taxi ⭕ Have a sober friend drive you home Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. 🚔
