School Crossing Officer Harold Douglas is all about safety.

That’s why he paid for two signs to emphasize drivers talking on cell phones is illegal in active school zones. 

Douglas, who directs traffic at the Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School, reminds drivers they face a $50 fine for violating the law.

School Resource Officer Daniel Thomas said drivers may talk on hands-free devices.

Rutherford County Schools and the Sheriff’s Office are trying to remind drivers through more signs and announcements.

Please obey the law.
