School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) reminds the community that school zones are under strict enforcement as the new school year commences. Officer Daniel Strassenberg highlighted the need for drivers to comply with traffic regulations to safeguard students. Increased enforcement in school zones aims to prevent accidents and improve student safety during peak drop-off and pick-up times. With many families returning from summer vacations, the SPD is encouraging drivers to be especially cautious. The enforcement will involve monitoring speed limits and adherence to traffic signals in these critical areas.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to prioritize public safety as children return to school. Historically, school zones have seen a rise in traffic-related incidents, making this enforcement especially timely. The SPD's proactive approach is designed to foster a safer environment for all students commuting to school.
