Peak Fest Parking

Peak Fest is May 5th and each year we have issues with illegal parking that causes traffic and safety hazards. As a reminder you cannot park within 25 feet of an intersection or within 10 foot of a private driveway. Parking is always a concern but so is the safety of the motorist who are traveling on roads with large amounts of parked cars. You also cannot park on someone elses property without their permission. Please be mindful of where you park.

Keep Pedestrian Safety in Mind

 

The warm weather of spring typically invites more pedestrians out onto sidewalks and crosswalks as they make their way to school on foot. The Apex Police Department urges motorists to be mindful of school zone speed limits and crosswalks to ensure the safety of pedestrians.

Baucom Elementary School on Hunter Street is an example of one of several Apex schools located on a busy roadway. In response to concerns about pedestrian safety in front of Baucom, the Town of Apex recently implemented several changes to this section of Hunter Street. The crosswalk in front of Baucom was realigned, with new concrete ramps and high-visibility signs to maximize the accessibility, usefulness, and safety of the crosswalk.
Here's a refresher on the crosswalk law - a pedestrian attempting to cross the street while in a marked crosswalk always has the right of way. It is the driver's responsibility to stop.

New Area Code Dialing Causing 9-1-1 Center Issues

Police response to false 911 calls has increased dramatically since April 1st. This can be attributed to the new ten-digit dialing in the Triangle, as '911' is easy to misdial instead of '919'. If you dial 911 in error, do not hang up. Stay on the line to let the dispatcher know that you dialed the number accidentally. If you hang up, an officer is likely to be dispatched to ensure that there is not a problem, which delays response to actual emergency calls.
