Most schools are now closed for the summer, which means children may be found playing near New Mexico's roads and highways. For Laboratory workers who drive to and from work in Los Alamos and nearby communities, it is important to increase attention to safety on the daily commute.
Laboratory workers are asked to be especially diligent in watching for children on NM 30 near Santa Clara Pueblo. Laboratory employees traveling on NM 30 should slow down and obey all posted speed limits.
Motorists traveling through neighboring communities and pueblos should pay careful attention to posted speed limits as well as to areas such as parks where children might be playing. It takes only a moment for a child following a ball or playing with a pet or other children to stray into traffic.
Take the safety of fellow travelers on NM 30 and other roads seriously and slow down. The life you save truly may be your own.
