School is returning in Carson City, and so are the active school zones
It’s that time of year again: the beginning of school in Carson City! The first day for the Carson City School District is Aug. 15, only two weeks away.
Now is the time for back to school shopping, preparing to learn, double checking school schedules and more. However, an important part of the first day of school for the entire community is a reminder to slow down, as school zones will become active once again.
Paying attention to school zones won’t only save you the hassle of avoiding a speeding ticket: it will also save lives.
As a reminder, school zones are no longer active only before and after school, but rather, speed reductions take place for the full duration of the school day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exception for the all day school zones are indicated by signs that state that school zones are active “when flashing.”
