intersections

Now they've named the top three intersections where most of the crashes are happening.

What we have here is a failure to yield.

The most recent statistics available from the Yakima Police Department show officers made 25,237 traffic stops in 2022 compared with 39,712 in 2023

During the week of August 6 through August 12 Officers made 792 traffic stops and issued 358 citations.

The campaign started in the fall of 2021 after more than 12 fatality crashes were reported within Yakima city limits.

In fact during the week of June 11 through the 17 Officers made 770 stops and issued 330 citations.

Yakima Police continue to urge driver to stop for red lights and they were seeing a decrease in red light collisions over the past month.

Good news; Yakima Police say the number of people getting in crashes by running red lights is falling every week.

They're conducting speed patrols looking for drivers not stopping for red lights and speeding.

Fortunately, at least 2 of these places have since remodeled their drive-thru entryways!
