TxDOT is working on a project to update the lighting along Ave. Q.

If you are 18-24 or over 24 and have never had a license in Texas you now get to take yet another course.

Former traffic Sergeant of the Lubbock Police Department, Ronnie Sowell on The Chad Hasty Show discussing with Paul R. Beane the issue of bicycles mixing with motor vehicles on roadways, and the laws and rules that both types of vehicles must follow.

According to the Lubbock Police Department, there have been 48 wrecks in the area since 9 a.m. this morning due to winter weather and snow.

If a new Texas bill passes through the state Senate, it will be illegal to text while driving in the Lone Star State.

Remember to take time to warm your vehicle engine and clean windows prior to driving. Road conditions will be hazardous, so allow plenty of time to drive slowly!

Driving is strongly discouraged. Remember that even if you use a 4-wheel drive vehicle, the laws of physics still apply. All drivers need to slow down and think well ahead to avoid the need for a sudden stop. If possible avoid overpasses and bridges. If you must go out on the roads, remember to BUCKLE UP, regardless of the distance you need to travel!
