Driver warnings have been placed on Sumner Avenue near the Riverside Avenue intersection in Hoquiam.

These devices were purchased with Hoquiam City Council approval to help reduce speeding and prevent crashes in the area.

Additionally, turn-only lanes have been added along Riverside Avenue. There are now three designated turn lanes. For those heading toward the Woodlawn/East Hoquiam area, use the turn lane for 16th Street only after passing 18th Street.

“We understand that change can be challenging, but these updates aim to prevent the far-right lane from being used as a passing lane,” said Hoquiam Police Department Lt. Brian Dayton. “Officers will be monitoring and enforcing improper lane usage to ensure everyone’s safety.”
