Iowa motorists need to be on the lookout for kids going to and from school once again as classes resumed around the state this week. Brian Ortner, at AAA of Iowa, says being safe is as easy as A-B-C.
He says the young pedestrians have as much responsibility as motorists to be safety-minded.
Nationwide, Ortner says nearly one out of every five children who are killed in traffic crashes are pedestrians.
According to a recent AAA survey, more than half of Iowans regularly drive through school zones or past school bus stops during their daily routes.
