 PUBLIC NOTICE – Traffic Sign Update 

The Dunn County Sheriff's Office would like to inform the public that the Dunn County Highway Department has installed new “Illegal Passing on the Right” and “No Passing in Turn Lane” signs along Highway 25 at both the East and West County Highway BB intersections.

These signs are beinga placed to improve traffic safety and remind drivers that using the right shoulder or turn lanes to pass is both dngerous and illegal. We’ve seen an increase in unsafe passing behaviors, particularly in areas where vehicles are attempting to turn, creating serious risks for crashes and injuries.

 Please drive responsibly.

 Observe all traffic signs and markings.

 Deputies will be monitoring these areas for violations.

Thank you for your continued cooperation in keeping Dunn County roads safe for everyone.
