How Tri-Cities Police Are Tackling Neighborhood Speeding Issues

Officers with Tri-Cities Police Departments are warning motorists to slow down in residential neighborhoods.

Recently, the Richland Police Department issued a post on social media about their neighboring officers in West Richland clocking a motorist at 60 mph during the morning rush.

Later in the Day, Richland Police Officer Pulled a Motorist Over for Speeding

Not to be outdone, we stopped a driver this afternoon traveling 74 mph at Keene and Lambert.

It's been an ongoing issue. And, I'm glad that Police are aware of it, and are addressing it. Keene Road seems to be a problem. Motorists travel well above the posted speed limit. It's the same on George Washington Way.

Do You Know the Speed Limit on George Washington Way is Generally 35 mph?

Too often, I catch myself going well over 35 mph just to keep up with the flow of traffic. Just this morning, I drove at 35 mph.

I wanted to speed up, as motorists were passing me left and right. Was I holding people up? I didn't care. I wasn't in any hurry. I didn't accelerate until I approached the on ramp to SR 240.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
