Even if you drive carefully, HPD has a message for you.

If you are driving on West Kendrick Avenue next week, it's a pretty good bet you're going to get stopped by the cops.

But, for a good reason.

Hamilton Police Chief Rick Gifford says there will be officers on West Kendrick next Wednesday stopping motorists to remind them of one important fact: school is about to open. HCS resumes classes next Thursday.

Gifford said officers will be handing out "tickets" to folks reminding them of some important driving rules:

When school is in session, there is a reduced speed limit on most of West Kendrick, a speed limit HPD will enforce strictly;
Watch for children walking to school, and especially crossing streets;
And, motorists traveling in either direction must stop for any stopped school bus that has its flashers on.

"We want people to know that we are going to be strictly enforcing these laws," said Gifford.

HPD will have officers on West Kendrick several times throughout the day Wednesday.
