Question

read the scenario. a neighborhood in pineview city has reported increasing traffic accidents near a busy school zone. residents, especially parents, are already concerned with the safety of their children. what is the most appropriate action the local government should take to address the issue? collaborate with the federal government to establish a citywide traffic control system request the state government to fund and take control of traffic management in the area consult with private contractors to construct additional roadways around the school zone to ease traffic congestion make an ordinance to reduce the speed limit and provide safety measures such as speed bumps and crossing guards

Explanation:

The problem is about a local government addressing traffic safety near a school. The option "Make an ordinance to reduce the speed limit and provide safety measures such as speed bumps and crossing guards" is most appropriate because local governments can create ordinances (local laws) to regulate speed limits and implement safety measures in school zones, directly addressing the safety concerns of residents' children. Other options involve higher - level or less direct actions (collaborating with federal, requesting state, or consulting contractors) which are not as immediate or within the typical local government's direct control for a neighborhood - school zone issue.

Answer:

The option: "Make an ordinance to reduce the speed limit and provide safety measures such as speed bumps and crossing guards"
