Episode Details

Schertz police are cracking down on deadly truck-train collisions with new patrols, warning signs, and enforcement—already issuing tickets and warnings to scofflaws ignoring “no trucks” zones. Since 2022, 11 crashes have occurred mostly on Schertz Parkway and FM 78, fueled by drivers bypassing GPS restrictions or using roads not built for big rigs. After media pressure last March, city leaders pushed for change, and now officials are collaborating with TxDOT and Union Pacific to repaint critical road markings—but delays persist as coordination across agencies stalls. The city’s street department is working under TxDOT’s oversight while navigating Union Pacific’s approval process for rail-right-of-way work. Meanwhile, broader fixes like smarter signage and updated navigation apps are in the pipeline to keep everyone safe.
