New Traffic Condition Notification System

We will be using Twitter to publish traffic conditions on Yelm Highway through the project area. We will be using "Red", "Yellow", and  "Green"  messages throughout the day as we get reports from the field. You can follow us on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/yelmhighwayinfo    

  • Condition Green will mean that the roadway is clear of any unusual or unplanned blockages
  • Condition Yellow will mean that traffic is slow but moving.
  • Condition Red will mean that traffic is stopped or extremely backed up.
Be aware that safety on the site is of primary importance and that the "Tweeting staff"  may not receive immediate notification of road conditions if the on site staff is trying to help mitigate a situation. We will get the information out to you as soon as we get it.

Please continue to obey the flaggers and signs and directional signage.
