Washington State Patrol Testing New Technology in the North Bend Area

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is testing the Safety Cloud technology in North Bend to improve roadway safety by providing real-time alerts to drivers about approaching emergency vehicles. This innovative system delivers alerts through navigation apps like Waze and Apple Maps, as well as compatible vehicle dashboards, aiming to reduce collision risks by up to 90%. Project Manager Haley Shipman emphasizes that it enhances existing Move Over laws by giving drivers critical extra warning time, which is particularly important at high speeds or in low visibility. The initiative aligns with efforts from over 4,000 agencies nationwide already using this technology, showcasing a growing trend in public safety solutions. The system requires no additional action from drivers, making it user-friendly.

WSP aims to prevent roadside line-of-duty deaths, which are considered preventable tragedies. By combining advanced technology with public awareness, the initiative seeks to create safer roads for everyone. For further details, visit www. haasalert. com.
