PULLMAN – The Washington State Patrol will be conducting emphasis patrols Aug. 9-20 as Washington State University students return to Pullman for fall semester.
Troopers will be focusing on speeding, distracted/impaired driving and other collision-causing violations on highways leading across Eastern Washington, including Interstate 90, U.S. Highways 195 and 395, and state Highway 26, among others.
Speeding is a major cause of collisions, officials said, noting troopers will be closely monitoring speeds on rural highways.
“Our primary mission is to ensure that everyone arrives back to school safely and without incident,” patrol District No. 4 Commander Capt. Jeff Otis said.
