Edmonds Police Department’s traffic unit is conducting a pedestrian safety emphasis starting Monday, April 2.
On April 2, police will be handing out educational flyers in downtown Edmonds — at 5th and Walnut, 5th and Main and 3rd and Main. On Tuesday, April 3, they will distributing those same flyers on Highway 99 — at 220th, 224th and 238th Streets Southwest.
Police will return to those same locations on April 8-12, and will be issuing tickets to violators.
This looks like a very good effort to improve pedestrian safety. Thank you Edmonds Police!
Once again the EPD hit a “home run”. If they waited until fall it would be a “touch down”! What a great way to help drivers and pedestrian safety. Great job EPD.
Thanks, EPD for doing this. Now, let’s hope people follow the suggestions!
I walk a lot in Edmonds. Most drivers are careful and considerate, but some are rude and impatient. The worse ones are oblivious. 3rd and Dayton is particularly dangerous. I wish the police would hand out flyers there.
