Addressing Citizen Concerns and the Safety of Young Children

Addressing Citizen Concerns

We take our role in solving traffic problems seriously, yet the ultimate burden of safety rests on the citizens of Grand Forks. We receive many citizen requests every year, we appreciate your patience and understanding in processing your request. If you have questions or suggestions concerning traffic, please call the City Traffic Engineer at (701) 787-3720.

Addressing the Safety of Young Children

Unnecessary signs confuse and annoy drivers and foster a disrespect for all signs, but signs in accordance with the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) can and should be posted for school zones and pedestrian crossings as well as playgrounds and other recreational areas where a need exists.

Most importantly, parents should teach children the dangers of playing in or near roadways and strongly discourage them from doing so. The City provides neighborhood parks where children can play safely with proper supervision. Safe playgrounds are also provided at many elementary school sites.
