Thank you, Sen. Shawn Keough, for getting the “no passing” zone signs installed on Highway 200 in the Trestle Creek area. This area has a “turn lane only” zone in the middle of the road with solid yellow lines. Most drivers understand what this means, a turn lane only. Some near-disasters have happened recently when drivers, irritated by their wait at construction zones use this turn lane to pass. Sen. Keough requested and pursued this additional signage. In addition, thank you to Idaho State Police and the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office for increased patrolls and Idaho Transportation Department for hearing and listening to our pleas for more signage.
