signs
What should a driver do when approaching an Idaho School Crossing warning sign?
- Watch for children, reduce speed, and obey crossing guard signals
- Keep the normal speed unless a child is already in the lane
- Stop at every school crossing even when no one is crossing
- Follow the sign only during the hours printed on a school calendar
Answer: Watch for children, reduce speed, and obey crossing guard signals. A School Crossing warning sign calls for alertness and a speed reduction, not automatic stopping in every empty crossing. The handbook specifically directs drivers to watch for children, reduce speed, and obey a crossing guard's signals. A driver who waits until a child is already in the lane has surrendered valuable reaction time. The sign is also not limited to a schedule inferred from a school calendar. Ease off the accelerator before the crossing, search both sides of the road, and be ready to stop.
