Tommy Walsh of the Brentwood Police Department said Wednesday. “We would ask motorists to use caution, pay close attention to the school zone lighting, and obey the 15 mile per hour speed limit. Motorists should also be on the lookout for pedestrians and buses in the school zones and neighborhoods.”
