School zone safety tips

by | Aug 14, 2025 | Area news, Latest

School zones can be hectic places with students hopping on and off buses or darting between cars to cross the street, and drivers may become distracted or impatient. So, crashes can — and do — happen.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were 781 traffic crashes in school zones last year and 2,480 collisions involving school buses in Texas.

 Most of these crashes involved driver inattention or speeding, and some were deadly. TxDOT said two people were killed in Texas school zone crashes last year and another 11 were killed in crashes involving school buses.
