National Roads Authority Urges Drivers to Be Cautious as Schools Reopen

As the school break concludes and students return to classes next week, the National Roads Authority (NRA) of the Cayman Islands urges all drivers to exercise heightened caution in school zones and at crosswalks. Adhering to traffic regulations in these areas is crucial to ensure the safety of our children and school staff.

When school zone lights are flashing, the speed limit is reduced to 15 mph, and strict compliance is mandatory to protect pedestrians. Fines will be enforced for speeding in these areas. Additionally, pedestrians always have the right of way at crosswalks, and drivers must remain vigilant, especially during school hours.

For detailed information on school catchment areas and boundaries, please refer to the Department of Education Services' guidelines at schools.edu.ky.

The NRA emphasizes the collective responsibility of all road users to maintain a safe environment for our students. By observing speed limits, yielding to pedestrians, and exercising caution, we can ensure the well-being of our community as the new school term begins.
