A sign it's time to slow down

A road sign lies on a sidewalk in Coulee Dam after a small car hit it Nov. 28 early on a slippery morning, according to a neighbor who saw it. The sign normally faces drivers coming off the west end of the Coulee Dam bridge over the Columbia River, where concrete blocks await drivers going too fast to slow down on the often-icy corner. A lighting fixture was also hit in a separate accident, and the corner is now dark. - Scott Hunter photo
