More than 30 signs are displayed around College Station to inform motorists that the city’s hands-free mobile device ordinance is in effect.
The hands-free requirement applies to anyone using a cell phone while operating a vehicle (including a bicycle) on a public roadway in College Station, which includes typing, sending or reading texts, and making calls. Fine amounts range from $25-$500.
You may pick up your device while driving only if:
- You’re at a complete stop.
- It’s an emergency.
- You’re selecting music on your device. (state requirement)
Please don’t drive distracted.
