Complaints Made Over Vehicles Idling at Guilford Schools

The Guilford Police Department says it has received several complaints regarding idling vehicles at the Guilford Schools while parents are dropping off or picking up children.

Each school has signs reminding visitors of this law, police said. The anti-idling law is not only directed at idling buses but for any vehicle idling.

The only exception to this law is weather extremes.

“We ask that you keep idling of your vehicle to 3 minutes or less, not only be in compliance with the Connecticut State Law, but to preserve the air quality for the children and reduce fuel consumption. Thank you for sharing and stay safe!,” police said.
