A Little Courtesy

As you are driving through the work zone on Yelm Highway, there will be times when you will be stopped for extended periods while traffic is confined to a single lane. When you do need to stop please make sure you are leaving enough space between you and the next vehicle for cars to enter the various driveways that lead to the residences and businesses throughout the work zone and also please try to not block those driveways when you stop.


We understand that this is not always possible, but our staff and the business owners and residents along Yelm Highway, and guests and patrons of those businesses and residents would be truly grateful if you could give it a shot whenever you could.  Also remember, it is always illegal to stop in an intersection. If you cannot make it all the way through the intersection, stop prior to entering it.


Just a reminder, the contractor will be working in the roadway on Saturday, July 9th. Please plan to avoid the work zone if possible in your travels.
