LAREDO, Tex.

(KGNS) - Laredo police are warning drivers to reduce their speed, avoid texting while driving and stop for school buses as the new school year begins.

Jose Espinoza of the Laredo Police Department said drivers should pay attention to posted school speed limits and watch for pedestrians and children."Because we are used to the summer, and we may be traveling at the normal speed, whenever we do see a posted school speed limit, we need to slow down and watch out for pedestrians and children," Espinoza said.
