With school back in session, E.C.I.S.D. And M.I.S.D. want to remind parents to pay close attention to school zones.
Officers with both police departments will be paying closer attention this week, looking for anyone speeding or talking on their cell phones. Anyone caught could face up to a $200 fine.
According to M.P.D. records, fast drivers account for the highest number of offenders in school zones. In 2009, more than 900 drivers got a ticket for speeding through one of these zones, but only three were cited for talking on their phones.
