OKLAHOMA CITY – A Tulsa lawmaker is working to require the use of hazard lights in school zones.
If passed, House Bill 2470 by state Rep. Ken Walker will mandate all drivers to “engage the motor vehicle’s vehicular hazard warning lamps” at all times when in a school zone.
“The idea is simple – when you see hazard lights, it makes you sit up and pay more attention,” said Walker, R-Tulsa. “Just this morning, a middle school student in Jenks was hit by an SUV. Going through the past decade, I found that these types of accidents occur regularly. I think more could be done to prevent them.”
