PORT ANGELES — Everything from joint law enforcement missions to roadside signs marking the sites of traffic fatalities could help make U.S. Highway 101 safer, members of the Highway 101 Safe Driving Project suggested Tuesday.
Their brainstorms came during the second meeting to look at problems on the highway as part of an organized corridor safety campaign that has seen success elsewhere in the state.
The focus is a 30-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 101 from Laird’s Corner, at the junction with state Highway 112 west of Port Angeles, to the Clallam-Jefferson county line near Gardiner.
Since Jan. 1 of this year, at least 15 people have been killed on Peninsula roads, including the stretch of Highway 101 now under scrutiny.
