Flower Mound will soon be required to go hands free with
their cell phones while driving in school zones.
The city council recently approved the ordinance, which
goes into effect on Tuesday.

be issued warnings, unless someone is a repeat violator.

fine.
To help make motorists aware of the new ordinance, the town
is installing signs near school zones.
Officials said that citizens can also report violations
to the police department and that letters would be sent
to registered owners of the vehicle as a warning of the
offense.
To report a violation, citizens would need to record the
following information: License plate number and state.
