Suffern elementary students are learning first hand they can make a difference.

Suffern Mayor Michael Curley visited Thursday to put in a traffic sign at the school's drop off circle.

The school principal, Kelly Benadi, had concerns the circle was getting dangerous because parents have been making a left hand turn onto a road where there's also a crosswalk.

Benadi got in touch with the mayor and he got support from the Town Board, which made it illegal to make a left between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. during school drop off.

Drivers will get a ticket if they break the new law.
