Traffic Control

Throughout the year, the City of Pullman carries out various projects that may install, improve, repair, or maintain components of our infrastructure. From maintaining roadways and traffic signals to stormwater and sewer systems, there's a lot to do! These projects, while necessary and valuable, can inconvenience pedestrian and/or auto traffic, depending on the size, location, and duration of the work.

We want to keep you informed with timely, useful, and accurate information so you can prepare by either avoiding the area or managing the inconvenience. Also, we consider the safety of the public and work crews our highest priority.

If you're driving and you approach a work zone, please show crews respect by:
  • Slowing down
  • Abiding by posted signs and flaggers
  • Driving attentively and limiting distractions
