Pella PD Cars August 2015

Now that school is out of session, many kids will be out and about throughout local communities.

Lt. Paul Haase with the Pella Police Department reminds residents to exercise caution when driving, especially near parks, libraries, community centers, and pools.

He says children can often dart onto a roadway with little notice and many aren’t always immediately aware of their surroundings.

Haase encourages everyone to use extra caution on the roads and to obey posted traffic laws.
