Traffic

An average of 21 people die each year on this stretch of Wyoming road.

The rain that began Tuesday evening turned to snow early Wednesday with temperatures near freezing.

Since the first major snow of the year (on January 4th, 2023), the morning traffic for the drop off at Kelly Walsh High School has been atrocious.

Casper most definitely does not have bad traffic (especially when compared to large, metropolitan areas like Denver), but during the Christmas season, it does seem like our drivers get more careless.

In my humble opinion, the most dangerous intersection in town, especially around dusk, is Wyoming Boulevard and 2nd Street, and here's why,

I know it is your job to keep our streets and roads up to par, but lately it seems like you've been reading my mind, and I am grateful for your hard work.

No matter how close you ride on another drivers bumper, I can almost 100% assure you that it will not make them go any faster.

There are quite a few "less than safe" left turns in and around the Casper area, but I am convinced, this is the worst.

In the second incident, officers believe there are seven unknown juveniles between 12 and 18 who are suspected to be involved.

This wouldn't be something that Wyomingites would call weird, but for highway traffic in the other Windy City, this is most definitely not the norm.

I'm not sure if the entire city of Casper is being punk'd or not, but the speed limit has magically returned to 35 miles per hour on Poplar Street between 1st Street and Collins Street.

The Casper Police Department wants to remind residents to be cognizant of the speed limit in school zones.
