~ As summer arrives and more drivers hit the roads, Spokane Police are urging motorists to be cautious and follow traffic laws. Julie Humphreys, the Public Safety Communication Manager, reminds drivers to slow down and pay attention to road closures and speed reductions, especially in the Latah Valley area where construction is currently underway for the Marshall Road Water Transmission Main Project.

According to a recent press release, SPD officers have been monitoring the area to ensure that drivers are following detours and adhering to speed changes. Since the project began on Tuesday, officers have issued a total of 27 speeding tickets, 3 citations for cell phone violations, 1 citation for driving with a suspended license, and 1 other traffic-related ticket. In addition, they have given out 8 verbal warnings for speeding and 6 verbal warnings for other driving violations.

To further enforce safe driving practices, speed patrols will continue throughout the summer as part of a High Visibility Emphasis funded by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. Tomorrow, SPD officers will be focusing on Highway 195 as well as other areas in the city that have been identified as trouble spots.

The importance of obeying traffic laws cannot be stressed enough. Not only can it save you from receiving an expensive ticket but it can also potentially save lives. According to statistics from 2014 to 2023, there has been an increase in fatal crashes involving speed.

To give a visual representation of the affected area due to construction on Highway 195 and Meadow Lane, related photos have been provided (see Photo 1 and Photo 2). Drivers are advised to plan their routes accordingly and allow extra time for potential delays.

In conclusion, Spokane Police are reminding drivers to slow down and follow traffic rules for their own safety as well as others on the road. Let's all do our part in making our roads safer this summer season.
