The first day of school is coming!🎒🍎
🛑If a school bus has lights flashing & a stop sign extended, you MUST stop, no matter which side of the road you are on. It's the law.
⚠️The speed limit on roads near schools is 20 mph.
🚸Always watch for crossing children.

Sun glare: Mother Nature’s way of keeping us humble.🌞
If the sun has you squinting, it’s time to slow down. Use your shades, rely on lane markings, and keep your windshield squeaky clean.

Avoid the 😱! Keep your move in day a thriller, not a horror! Don't take oversized vehicles like box trucks 🚛 on the low-clearance Storrow Drive, Soldiers Field Road, or Memorial Drive when moving to the Boston area! Watch for the many warning signs & heed their advice!

Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps won't know you are driving a truck. Trucks are banned on these roads due to low clearance (as low as 9 ft):

🚨Traffic Alert on Storrow Drive West 🚨
This morning, a tractor trailer 🚛 rolled over and hit a westbound overpass on Storrow Drive at the Fenway exit.
For the safety of all, traffic is down to one lane and there is one lane closed on the exit.
