TRUSSVILLE New school zone lights are up and running around schools in Trussville, after over a year of studies and planning.
The discussion first began in October of 2019, after residents behind Cahaba Elementary School voiced concerns at a city council meeting. After hearing the concerns, the city’s Public Safety Committee began discussing ways to ensure the safety of students. Police Chief Eric Rush said after a traffic study, it was determined that flashing lights could provide more awareness about speeding during times students are coming and going.
“We’ve been trying to get the school zone lights and the pedestrian signals for over a year,” Rush said. “Now it is obvious that you need to lower your speed and that you’re in a school zone.”
