Car accidents are, unfortunatly, more common near the high school than prefered; it is particularly bad on Ridgeview. Driving safetly is highly encouraged, and a seemingly harmless risk can result in an unexpected accident. With many student and adult drivers occupying Ridgeview at busy times of the day, the risk of collisions are higher.
