With local students going back to school, the Knoxville Police Department wants to remind students and parents to exercise caution when traveling near schools.
School Resource Officer Kyle Keller tells KNIA/KRLS News kids should especially pay attention when crossing the street and only cross at a crosswalk, and to make sure cars can see you as you cross. Bikers should also take extra caution to not risk a crossing, wait and cross at a safe time. Keller also said parents installing reflective gear on a students backpack or bicycle would be a good idea as an extra safety precaution.
