School zone speed limit signs will light up next week as the City of Salina prepares for the opening of the fall semester.
The flashing speed limit sign beacons will be activated on Monday, one week in advance of the first day of school on Aug. 31. Motorists are encouraged to practice extra caution when traveling in the reduced-speed school zone sign locations and be aware of children, school buses, the school zones around schools, and the reduced speed limits.
Kansas law states that when a school bus stop arm is extended and the flashing lights on the bus have been activated, vehicles traveling in both directions must come to a complete stop. Kansas law also states that vehicles must stop and yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks.
