The in basket: George Sovde wrote in March and again this month
to say, “Driving west on SR 308 as you approach Central Valley Road
there is a school zone speed limit light. I understand that the
school is to the south on Central Valley Road.
“But if you keep going west on 308 there is no end school zone
sign.
Or a speed sign telling you that you have left the school zone.
The out basket: Claudia Bingham Baker of the Olympic Region of state highways says, “We have ordered two ‘End School Zone’ signs that will be delivered in a few months to install in that area.
“Our older standards allowed us to either use an End School Zone sign or a speed limit sign to indicate the end of a school zone. We’ve always had a speed limit sign near there, but the new signage will help clarify the beginning and ending points of the school zone.”
She said the existing speed limit sign is farther away than it should be and will be moved closer to Central Valley Road when the new school zone signs go up.
