Spotted: Some very bold pedestrians casually ignoring traffic laws and ruffling a few feathers along the way🦆. While it might fly for geese, it definitely doesn't for humans. Be smart. Stay safe. If you are not a goose, make sure to use the crosswalk. 🚶‍♀️🚶

Look out for rabies vaccine baits! If you see small packets dropped in your yard or park, don't touch them. They help protect wildlife from rabies. Keep your pets and kids away from them.

OK, drivers! 🚘 🛻 It’s time for us to do our part to keep Pennsylvania children safe out on the roads. Breaking the School Bus Stopping Law can result in expensive fines, points on driver’s licenses, and 60-day license suspensions. When in doubt, just stop! ✋ 🛑 #BacktoSchool
