MEDIA RELEASE <br /> SOUTH BEND POLICE DEPARTMENT <br /> SOUTH BEND, INDIANA <br /> Monday, August 14, 2006 <br /> Re: Back to School Traffic Safety <br /> With the 2006-2007 school year beginning, the South Bend Police Department <br /> would like to take this opportunity to urge all motorists to be particularly aware of school <br /> zone traffic safety. Drivers should pay special attention to designated "school zones" <br /> where posted speed limits are reduced to 25 mph.. <br /> The South Bend Police Department is stepping up traffic enforcement in and <br /> around school zones in an effort to slow speeding drivers. Also targeted will be drivers <br /> that disobey the "no turn on red" designations found at many intersections that have a <br /> high degree of pedestrian traffic. <br /> We want all of our kids to have a happy healthy school year and following good <br /> defensive driving practices will help. <br /> Captain Phil Trent <br /> South Bend Police Department <br /> 574-235-5564 <br />
