Police caution: Slow down in school zones
Carol Brimm
Mustang Police Capt. Willard James says motorist need to be conscious that school is back in session to protect the safety of the children. He said motorist need to obey the 25-mile per hour speed limits in school zones and always stop when they see the red flashing lights of a school bus.
“It is unlawful to pass a school bus when it is loading or unloading children, even on SH 152 and Mustang Road. If the lights are flashing, all five lanes must stop until the lights stop flashing. They may then proceed if the roadway is clear,” James said.
James said the fine for speeding in a school zone is $144 and fines of $104 will be assessed for failure to stop for a school bus. School Resources Officers Kevin Simons and Blaine Condreay will be patrolling the high school, mid-high, and middle school campuses and surrounding areas.
