.................NOTICES.................
Back-To-School time is here…
While driving, please watch out for children walking or bicycling to and from neighborhood schools,
and remember that pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right-of-way to complete their safe crossing.
When an adult Crossing Guard is present, their raised Stop paddle and instructions to stop
carry the full weight of the law and anyone going around the Guard or failing to stop when signaled
will face heavy fines and driver’s license points.
Cherry Hill Police will be using marked and unmarked police vehicles,
stepping up enforcement of these and other traffic laws in and around school zones
as our children return to their classes. If you are reading this, you have received your warning!
Please STOP for children and Crossing Guards and do your part to keep our neighborhoods safe!
