NOTICE TO MENDON CITIZENS

Mendon City recently finished installing the remainder of the school safety signs on Mendon streets. The safety signs are intended to protect our school children by expanding school zones and reducing speed limits. Key school routes are 100 North and 100 East. However, children will be walking and riding bikes on all streets.

Parents must teach their children how to walk and ride bikes on Mendon streets. The white line on 100 East is the area where children must walk or ride their bikes. Those riding bikes must yield to those walking. Everyone should follow the Single File rule when walking and riding bikes. Children must always watch for traffic and obey crossing guards. Bikes should always be walked across cross walks. Teaching children street safety is a continual process and parents must take this responsibility. A simple process to remember is Teach proper safety habits, Review safety habits, and Correct improper safety habits.

The Sheriff will continue to write citations to those who violate the speed limits and safety signs. Speed limits are 25 in Mendon, and 30 on Highway 23. The speed limit in school zones is 20. The 20 mile per hour speed limit is in effect 30 minutes prior to school starting and 30 minutes after closing Monday through Friday. Traffic fines are doubled in school zones. Vehicle operators are to ALWAYS yield to children and pedestrians. Due to constrained budgets not all streets have cross walks marked. New to Mendon are cross walks without stop signs. Drivers must ALWAYS stop and yield to anyone in or approaching crosswalks. Children and adults should not stand by cross walks, but should immediately cross after watching for on-coming traffic. There have been instances where drivers ignore speed limits and safety signs. This places children and adults at risk of being injured or even killed by reckless driving habits. It takes everyone in the community to make Mendon a safe place to live.

Please slow down, obey safety signs, and keep Mendon a safe place to live.

Sincerely,

George DeWeese
Mendon City Council
