LET’S MAKE ACCIDENT-FREE ROADS

Everyone must drive defensively to avoid traffic accidents as much as possible. Texas traffic-related deaths most frequently involve a non-motorized form of transportation, such as a pedestrian, bicycle, wheelchair, skateboard, etc.

Drivers should always keep these in mind while driving a vehicle:

• Follow the posted speed limit.
• Slow down your speed at intersections.
• Give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks and unmarked corners. Be ready to stop and let those on foot cross.
• Apply extra care in less-than-ideal driving conditions. This may include dark, foggy, or rainy weather.
• Respect all bicyclists. Give cyclists at least three to five feet of room when passing a bike. State law requires drivers to provide a minimum of three feet of space between a vehicle and a bicycle.
• If there is not enough space to pass a bicyclist safely, be patient and wait until you can.

Reckless driving has become more common with the excess of available distractions, such as phones and other smart devices.

Sharing the road is a shared responsibility. It is important to keep an eye out for those who are on the road with you.

Let us prevent incidents like the traffic crash on FM 973.
