Keep your eyes on the road, not the sky
Want to see the fireworks? Don’t watch them from the side of the interstate, which is illegal.
And if you’re driving during a fireworks show, keep your eyes on the road.
Edmonds road survey
The city of Edmonds has contracted with Infrastructure Management Services to complete a detailed inventory and condition rating of all city roadways.
The inventory will collect data using a device to measure pavement roughness, rutting, cracking and other surface problems. The machine is on a 2014 Ford van with up to five inside-mounted cameras and GPS receivers. Each roadway will be surveyed at least once.
