For those of us in Austin, today is the first day of the new school year. As always, we need to mindful of school zones, especially the prohibition against cell phone use in school zones.
This year, the Austin Police Department is helping remind us, and perhaps not the easy way. I heard a report this morning that for the next two weeks or so every Austin Police Department motorcycle officer would be deployed to school zones around the city.
Don’t have an unexpected meet-up with one of these officers. Obey the speed limits, stay off your cell phone, don’t pass buses that are loading or unloading children, and stay safe.
