In preparation for the start of RISD and PISD classes, Traffic Operations will test school zone signals next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 29 and 30, to ensure all flashers are working. The testing not only helps the City know if repairs are needed, but also helps drivers acclimate to slowing down in school zones. 

The testing will take place at the following times, coinciding with signs outside schools*: 

  • Elementary School Flashers: 7-8 a.m. and 2:45-3:45 p.m. 
  • Junior High School Flashers: 7:15-8:15 a.m. and 3:15-4:15 p.m. 
  • High School Flashers: 8:15-9:15 a.m. and 4-4:45 p.m. 

*Plano ISD school timeframes may vary 

The first day of school is Aug. 12 for both PISD and RISD.
