				School Zone Safety
				

## Lansing School Traffic & Zone Safety

				

School zone speed limits, pickup/dropoff schedules, bus route alerts, and safety tips for Ingham parents and commuters

			

			
			
			
			
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### School Zone Speed Limits

					

South Carolina law requires drivers to reduce speed to the posted school zone limit during designated hours. Fines are doubled in active school zones. Watch for flashing beacon signals near all Lansing schools.

				
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### Pickup & Dropoff Hours

					

Peak school traffic: **6:30–8:30 AM** and **2:00–4:00 PM** on school days. Allow extra commute time during these hours. Obey no parking and no stopping signs near school entrances.

				
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### School Bus Safety

					

SC law requires all vehicles to stop for school buses with extended stop signs and flashing red lights. Passing a stopped school bus carries fines up to $1,000 and potential license suspension. Children should wait in a safe place away from traffic.

				
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### Back-to-School Alerts

					

Each August, traffic patterns shift across Ingham as 9 school districts resume classes. Watch for new traffic patterns, construction near schools, and increased pedestrian activity at intersections.
