Texting While Driving Banned Again
Watch Out for Local Traffic Delays
Dear Neighbors,
As you prepare to start your weekend here are a few things to help make your travel safe and hassle free.
First, texting while driving became illegal again starting today. A previous law had not withstood court challenges, so the legislature rewrote the law this year and the governor signed it into law yesterday. From now on, reading or typing a message on a screened device while driving a moving vehicle is against the law.
Second, with the start of the summer construction season, traffic delays and road closures are going to increase. You can get information about which areas to avoid and alternate routes at the following link: Road Project Traffic Delays
You will find information about future closures on Homer Drive, Dowling Road, Arctic Boulevard, Jewel lake Road, Victor Road, and other locations. There is also information about how upcoming events like the Anchorage Market & Festival, Solid Waste Services Spring Cleanup, and Faster Than a Falcon 5k will affect traffic patterns.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this update. Drive safely, and as always, please keep in touch on matters important to you and your family!
Warm regards,
