Buddy Holly crosswalk in Texas hometown to be removed following governor’s order on road safety

Lubbock city officials say they must remove a crosswalk featuring Buddy Holly's iconic glasses to comply with a directive from Texas to rid roads of political messages and artwork.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the state's transportation department to enforce federal guidelines prohibiting symbols, flags, and other markings conveying political messages on roadways.
Abbott's order followed a letter from former U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy stating that intersections and crosswalks must be kept free from distractions.
