Overview
This Safety Improvement project installed a pedestrian activated warning system in Omak at the intersection of Oak St./Robinson Canyon Road and SR 215. It also included an Electrical Preservation project to rebuild a traffic signal at the intersection of SR 215 and SR 155 in Omak.
Increased pedestrian protection was needed at this intersection as students from North Omak Elementary use it to go to and from school.
 | Improves Safety
A pedestrian activated warning system at the intersection of Oak St./Robinson Canyon Rd. and SR 215 now alerts motorists of crossing pedestrians, improving safety for pedestrians, particularly school children.
