BOISE, Idaho (CBS 2) — Those flashing school zone lights are not flashing by mistake during summer lunchtimes.
Since schools continue to distribute lunches for students among the COVID-19 crisis, kids and traffic are present in the area between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Police are ticketing speeders who may be negligent of the warnings.
“We just ask that people slow down, pay attention to the flashing lights if they are lit and just keep an eye out for children," Sgt. Mathew Konvalinka said. "Children are unpredictable.”
Sgt. Konvalinka says that people are generally following the rules in school zones.
“We do have some speeding that’s still happening in school zones,"Sgt. Konvalinka said. "But most people, or people for the most part, have been really good about paying attention.”
Speeding in a school zone could cost you a ticket of $156.50.
According to Boise Schools, the lights will continue to flash at lunchtime through at least the end of July. West Ada doesn’t have a specific date on when the distributions will end.
