By Steve Benkula Chief, Bonners Ferry Police Department In an effort to increase the safety of pedestrians using the crosswalks on Highway 95 near Fry Street, Augusta Street and Eisenhower Street, the city of Bonners Ferry has placed orange flags at these locations for pedestrians to use while crossing. With Highway 95 being an extremely busy thoroughfare and visibility at times being poor, it is our hope that the flags may help reduce the risk of a serious accident. Although there are no ordinances requiring the use of the flags, we hope that people will use them for their own safety The City of Bonners Ferry would like to thank the Bonners Ferry Police Department, Bonners Ferry Traffic Safety Committee, Bonners Ferry Street Department, Bonners Ferry City Council and the Idaho Transportation Department for their help to complete this project. |
