Episode Details

As Daylight Saving Time begins, safety groups in Reno emphasize the need for extra caution during morning school commutes. With darker mornings, drivers and students face increased risks due to less daylight and sleepy schedules. Local advocates warn that the first few weeks after the clock change are the most challenging. Headlights should be turned on early, and drivers must stay alert, as accidents often spike during this period. Safe Routes to Schools and the local police department are collaborating to remind everyone in the Washoe County School District zones. Drivers are urged to slow down, stay patient, watch speed limits, and scan crosswalks. Parents can contribute by dressing kids in bright, reflective clothing and reviewing crossing rules. Bikers should also check their lights, reflectors, and helmets. The goal is to ensure students safe arrival at school through collective vigilance.
