Sultan Police Department's Chief Hess has an update and some TRAFFIC SAFETY REMINDERS we want to share to help keep our students and staff:
The Sultan Police Department has received several recent traffic-related complaints and would like to remind everyone to help keep our roadways safe for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and students.
Please remember:
🛑 Stop Means Stop
Drivers are required to come to a complete stop at all stop signs. We have received complaints from citizens who were nearly struck while using crosswalks because vehicles failed to stop properly.
🚒 Keep Fire Hydrants & Signs Clear
Do not park in front of fire hydrants, mailboxes, or too close to stop signs. Parking too close to signs can block visibility and create safety hazards.
🚲 E-Bike Safety
We are receiving complaints regarding unsafe operation of E-Bikes creating hazards for vehicles and pedestrians. We want to ensure everyone’s safety and remind riders to operate responsibly and follow traffic laws.
⚠️ Obey Speed Limits & Passing Laws
Please follow posted speed limits and do not pass vehicles illegally on local roadways or along Hwy 2 within the City of Sultan.
🚫 No Parking Reminder – Date Ave
The signs posted on Date Ave in front of Sultan Elementary School indicate “No Parking” from that sign to 5th Street. Please observe all posted parking restrictions to help maintain safe traffic flow around the school.
🚔 Traffic Emphasis Patrols
The Sultan Police Department has been conducting traffic emphasis patrols throughout the City of Sultan and will continue enforcement efforts on local roadways as well as the portion of Hwy 2 within city limits.
Our goal is to ensure safe roadways for everyone in our community.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep Sultan safe.
