Cellphones. Yep, we pretty much all have them. Drivers of a motor vehicle shall not use use a wireless telecommunications device (i.e. cellphone) while operating a motor vehicle when passing a school building or zone during school hours when children are present and outside unless in an emergency. Arkansas Code 27-51-1605.
It is easy to get distracted and with a lot of vehicle and foot traffic in a condensed area, it is even more dangerous to answer that text, call, or notification. Stay safe and arrive alive.
