Concerns Over Student Safety in NW Iowa
Parents in Hartley, Iowa are demanding action to address the lack of traffic control measures on US Highway 18, which students must cross to attend school.
The speed limit near the school is 25 miles per hour, but parents claim cars are still speeding, putting children at risk.
I want people to know that, you know, they’re not alone in their fear of this situation, said Andrea Tewes, a mother of two young children who attend Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Community Schools.
- No traffic lights
- No stop signs
- No crossing guards
Parents have expressed their concerns to the school board, who say the issue is an Iowa DOT matter.
One of them is going to get hit by a vehicle, and you know, it could be a fatality, said Tewes.
