Traffic accidents in areas around schools have increased. State data reveals a significant spike in crashes. The main factors contributing to these incidents are excessive speed and lack of attention on the road.

In the last year, numerous collisions occurred in school zones and involved buses. Officials are now cautioning drivers to be more mindful. With schools reopening, roads will become busier, and safety is a concern.

Further information on this issue can be found through the Texas Department of Transportation's safety campaign, which aims to raise awareness about responsible driving habits.
