Written By: Robert Cox

ALBANY, NY (August 30, 2025) — AAA is launching its annual “Schools Open – Drive Carefully!” campaign to help keep children safe traveling to and from school.

The campaign runs from September 2 to September 12 and focuses on safe driving as children head back to the classroom.

Local Police Officers will be out conducting traffic enforcement during the first two weeks of school to ensure motorists are complying with all New York State traffic regulations.

Drivers should be especially cautious in school areas, keeping their speed at or below posted limits and being prepared to stop, on both sides of the street, for school buses with flashing red lights, as required by New York State Law.
