School is Open! Kids are back in school and for us in Lynn that means different traffic patterns and maybe a longer commute.

Bus stops are not always marked, so drivers are urged to use caution on all routes.

Also, many kids are just getting their licenses and their driving skills aren’t up to par yet.

So patience, seasoned drivers. Remember when you were 16?
