School Zone Painting to Impact Traffic Next Week

Yakima, WALocal News

The City of Yakima is set to enhance student safety with a school zone painting initiative from April 3rd to April 6th, 2023. Crews will be painting new markings at several key locations, including Washington Middle School, Adams Elementary, and others, which will temporarily affect traffic flow in those areas. This project is crucial as it directly addresses the safety concerns of students during their commutes. The city emphasizes the importance of clear and visible markings in school zones to reduce accidents and improve awareness among drivers. Residents are advised to expect delays and should plan alternate routes if possible.

The initiative is part of Yakima's broader efforts to prioritize safety in school zones, especially with the return of students from spring break. Local authorities have urged drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to posted speed limits during this time. By taking these steps, Yakima aims to create a safer environment for its young residents as they travel to and from school.
