Amarillo police officials praise the Texas senate for passing a uniform traffic code bill and expect House approval. The measure, urged by Gov, recodifies rules dating to 1913 and aligns Texas with a national code via the Texas Safety Association and state agencies.

Pedestrians gain right of way at marked crossings while vehicles retain priority elsewhere. The bill ties in with a highway patrol boost, controlled access highway law, drunk driving cases in corporate court, license funding, and high school driver training.
