BACK TO SCHOOL MEANS TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGES
Monday 08-25-2008 2:06pm ET
 No matter how you spell it you can expect heavier traffic on the highways now that schools are getting back in session. Here are some stats from ODOT.
In 2007, there were more than 100 traffic-related injuries in school zones near Ohio’s elementary and middle schools. Between 2005 and 2007, school zones were also home to more than 1,000 crashes.
In addition to school buses, more parents will be back on the route to school. According to numbers from the National Highway Transportation Administration, as much as 25 percent of the typical morning rush hour traffic is school-related.
