Traffic

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.

I have confirmed that the speed limit on Poplar Street, between Collins and 1st Street, has been lowered to 30 mile per hour.

The city’s contractor is Keyhole Technologies.

There was no word on whether anyone was injured.

To be completely transparent, I blame the COVID-19 pandemic for 99.99% of the traffic issues. That being said, which one is worse?

There are quite a few dangerous intersections in Casper, but in my humble opinion, the mall entrance at Wyoming Boulevard and Carriage Lane is one of the worst.

So far this year, 27 people have died on Wyoming highways.

We see our animals running free all over Wyoming and it's not all that surprising to see a horse or goat or sheep while you're driving down the road. Apparently it's a little less common in other places like Pennsylvania.

Getting stuck behind animals in traffic can be a bit of a bummer. But not when they put on a little show for you while they are jamming up the road.

This may be the most dangerous intersection Casper and this traffic light is the reason.
