As students head back to school, the Kyle Police Department is urging drivers and families to stay alert and make safety a priority during daily commutes.
With more children walking, biking and riding school buses, drivers can expect increased congestion around school zones. Delays are likely, so plan ahead and allow extra time for your commute. Motorists are urged to slow down, eliminate distractions and follow all posted traffic signs.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, 781 traffic crashes occurred in Texas school zones in 2024 alone. These incidents highlight the importance of extra caution and awareness during school hours, especially near campuses (txdot.gov/safety/trafficsafety- campaigns/backto school.html).
