If you’re in Dallas or visiting Dallas for a while, and if you plan to pass through a school zone (for whatever reason) you’d better start refraining yourself from using your mobile while driving– unless you’d rather want to divest yourself of 200 bucks. Apparently, that’s the new city law. Before, there were only seven school zones where the ban was effective but now, they’ve added about 230 more. The city just passed that ordinance today, following others. How serious is the city? About
$145,000 sure. That’s the amount they are using to install signage to alert drivers to the changes.
