Walk 'n Roll to School Day is October 12!
National Walk 'n Roll to School Day promotes pedestrian safety and the importance of daily physical activity for children's health and wellbeing. The City of Frisco's Transportation Division, Police Department, Fire Department and Frisco ISD encourage students and parents to walk 'n roll to school on October 12. Join us for this fun, annual event celebrating the benefits of walking and biking.
Learning and practicing proper pedestrian habits are important life skills. With students returning to school, keep an eye out for the school zone flashing lights both in the morning and in the afternoon. Watch a Pedestrian Safety video and learn tips to help students get to school and back home safely. Together, we can make our community a safe place to Walk ‘n Roll.
New for 2022 - 2023 School Year
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon With the widening of Coit Road to 6 lanes, the City of Frisco installed a new type of traffic control device adjacent to Maus Middle School to enhance safety for pedestrians crossing Coit Road at Hay River Trail. The new signal is designed to improve safety for pedestrians while minimizing delay to motorists. A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) differs from a pre-timed traffic signal or flashing beacon because it remains inactive or dark until activated by a pedestrian. PHBs help increase driver awareness to pedestrians crossing the roadway. Review a user guide for drivers and pedestrians. View a user guide for drivers and pedestrians (PDF).
