LAS VEGAS (AP) — New school zone safety laws are going into effect in Nevada to try go cut down on injuries to children during the rushes when drivers to drop students off and pick them up.

U-turns are out beginning Thursday in school zones and school crossing zones, and passing other vehicles is prohibited.

She says the state Legislature passed the new laws by earlier this year to to help reduce the number of vehicle-pedestrian accidents.

She says that so far this year, 30 pedestrians have been killed on Clark County streets.

The Clark County School District has more than 320,000 students.
