In School Zones ... Driving 20 MPH is Plenty!

Monday, January 14th is the kick-off for "20 is Plenty," a traffic safety campaign that targets school zones. The campaign includes billboards, brochures, stickers, etc. and is a collaborative effort by the following jurisdictions and agencies: Spokane County Traffic Safety Commission, Spokane County Sheriff's Office, Spokane Police Department, Spokane Valley Police Department, Cheney Police Department and the Washington State Patrol.

The campaign's message is simple and direct - 20 mph is plenty in school zones and around parks/playgrounds. That message will be enforced through emphasis patrols beginning on Tuesday, January 15th. Studies show that a child has an 80-to-90 percent rate of survival if struck by a vehicle traveling 20 mph. However, only five to ten miles over the speed limit results in a 90 percent chance of death!

For more information about the campaign, please contact Peggy Gilliland, Traffic Safety Coordinator for Spokane County at 509/477-7447 or by email Contact Us.
