The city is asking MoDot for signage to let people know they are a no-texting town. In addition, there are some exemptions built in to the ordinance that will still allow you to send important messages at appropriate times.

Leniency doesn’t mean they WON’T issue fines, however, and you should keep in mind the potential penalty – a fine of up $200.
