Galion City Schools put out a reminder this week about riding bikes, scooters, e-scooters, and skates on campus. The message is simple: ride if you like, but follow the rules so everyone gets where they’re going safely.
Why it matters
Campus traffic is busy before and after school and throughout the day. Pedestrians, buses, and cars share the same space, and small mistakes can lead to close calls. The district’s priority is keeping walkways, entrances, and pick-up zones clear and safe.
The basics to follow
• Obey all traffic signs and signals
• Yield to people on foot
• Stay out of buildings, ramps, stairs, loading docks, and any area that blocks pedestrian flow
What to avoid
• Don’t weave between parked cars or cut through parking lots. Drivers and bus operators have blind spots, and a rider can disappear from view in an instant.
Where to park
• Use bike racks or other approved areas
• Keep devices out of walkways and away from doors and exits
The bottom line
Students may ride to school at their own risk when they follow these expectations. Slow down, stay alert, and be considerate of those around you. It keeps everyone safe and keeps riding an option.
