The City of Caldwell is improving school zone safety by installing new flashing light systems at multiple schools across the community. The project is part of an ongoing effort to increase visibility, reduce speeding, and ensure safer routes for students, families, and staff. The lights were paid for using a Child Pedestrian Safety Program grant through the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council, and also with City funds.
The project includes flashing beacons at the following school zones:
Caldwell School District
Vallivue School District
Charter Schools
“These new flashing lights will help drivers clearly identify active school zones and remind them to slow down,” said Mayor Wagoner. “The safety of our students is a top priority, and these improvements are an important investment in protecting the children in our community.”
Installation work is taking place now through mid to late November with all lights expected to be operational by November 28. The city reminds drivers to stay alert and obey posted speed limits, especially when lights are flashing.
