Is the Hanford Site working with other state, county and local agencies to address issues on non-Hanford roads?
Yes. We have invited WSDOT, Washington State Patrol, Benton County Sheriff, and the city of Richland to participate in Hanford Site Traffic Safety Committee activities. Those agencies have jurisdiction for all non-Hanford roads and have been understanding and supportive of our efforts. One issue for these agencies is funding. Another important issue we are trying to address is how law enforcement personnel can safely pull over an unsafe driver on SR 240. There are just a few areas on SR 240 that are considered safe enough to pull over a speeding, unsafe driver under its current configuration. Furthermore, the road configuration does not lend itself to allow an officer to safely turn around a vehicle, especially in morning and afternoon traffic.
