The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) should make certain that all applicable traffic control devices are utilized to prevent problems in school areas. Maintaining contact with school officials can help TxDOT become aware of proposed building programs or other problems at an early stage so that solutions will be more promptly implemented. When proposed building plans are known, it may be possible to offer suggestions on access points that will prevent future problems. Also the installation of needed safety and traffic control devices can be scheduled to be in place when needed.

An engineering and traffic investigation should be conducted to determine the need for a reduced school speed limit as well as all appropriate traffic control devices to provide maximum safety.
