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.

Springdale schools begin Monday. Expect heavy traffic around schools as kids are being dropped off and picked up. Remember, some of the newer students have backpacks just as big as them and take just a little bit longer. Please be patient and watch your speed through school zones. We hope everyone has a great first day back!!
