No turn on red! Spokane City Council passed a proposal prohibiting turns on red throughout downtown. This ordinance will roll out over the next few years, starting with high pedestrian traffic intersections. This is a significant step towards enhancing safety for everyone!

☀️The sun is out and so are the speeders. This driver was going 101 mph near Trigger on State Route 3 because he was late for school. Let’s make safe choices going into Memorial Day weekend! #drivesafe #drivesober

When a vehicle collides at high speed with a fixed object, another vehicle, or a person, impact severity is high. It increases exponentially by the driver's speed... At 40 mph, the force is equal to the vehicle dropping from 54 feet. --Washington Target Zero Plan, 2024

Safe speeds save lives! The faster you go, the longer it takes to stop. It’s also more likely you’ll get in a crash, and the crash will be more severe. We’re working to make our streets safer by lowering speed limits. More info BellevueWA.gov/safe-speeds Target Zero
