\"\"TYLER — The City Council approved updating and establishing new school speeding zones to help ease traffic congestion in our community while also keeping students safe, according to our news partner KETK. The number one reason for the use of school zones is for the safety of all students. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been quite a while since we have made these updates. Cameron Williams, the Traffic Engineer, has really implemented this project to kind of catch up on things we have kind of let go for a number of years,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Mayor Don Warren. According to the Traffic Engineer, Cameron Williams, the lower the speed limit is set to, the lower the chances are of fatal accidents occurring. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is kind of just the first phase of looking at some of our school zones and working with TISD to clean up some of our areas, add a few new school zones, and the main thing is we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want motorists driving through a school zone and saying why is this even here! So, we are going to be able to remove a few of those that were associated with older schools that are no longer in operation,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Williams.<\/p>\n

This change will allow for schools like Andy Wood Elementary, Bell Elementary, and Tyler Legacy High School to receive updated speed zones. When driving around school zones, it is important to remember to always drive slowly and carefully to keep students and parents safe but to also keep yourself safe as these changes around the City start to take place. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We want parents to pay attention to those when they are crossing their kids but also when they are driving and for everybody else that everyone gets to and from school and home safely every day,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Williams.<\/p>\n

Updates will include new signage to improve safety as well as new crosswalks for pedestrians. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We care about your kids and like I said before, I have grandkids. We love our kids and grandkids and let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s keep them safe,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Mayor Warren. This is all in an effort to improve traffic around the City of Tyler. The school speeding zone changes can be expected to start taking place immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
