Speed limits reduced around schools
SPOKANE VALLEY – The city of Spokane Valley is reminding drivers to observe reduced speed limits around area schools when children are present.
According to a city press release, “when children are present” is defined by the Washington Administrative Code 392-151-035 as “when school children are occupying or walking within a marked crosswalk, are occupying or waiting at the curb or shoulder of the roadway and are about to cross the roadway, or are present and walking along the roadway.”
Central Valley students return to classes Tuesday, the last of area schools to open.
Flashing beacons alert drivers to reduced speed zone limits near many Spokane Valley elementary schools.
