As students return to school in Texas, traffic safety is a concern. AAA Texas is reminding drivers to be cautious in school zones, watching for children, bicyclists, and school buses. The organization notes that traffic safety remains a serious issue in the state.

Last year, a significant number of pedestrians and bicyclists were killed in traffic crashes, with many more suffering serious injuries. Further details on traffic safety and the concerns of AAA Texas are available from the organization, which is urging drivers to exercise extra caution, particularly around school buses with extended stop arms and flashing red lights.
