AAA is reminding drivers to be especially vigilant for pedestrians before and after school hours.
Data reveals that nearly one in four child pedestrian fatalities occurred between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. over the last decade.
Among the recommendations from AAA are slowing down in school zones, coming to a complete stop at stop signs.
Also, it is advised to eliminate distractions while driving.
These practices can significantly reduce the risk of accidents involving children.
