Sheriff’s Office focusing on traffic enforcement around schools
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is increasing patrols around Fernley school zones to address congestion and safety concerns. Deputies will focus on Cottonwood Elementary, Hardie Lane near Fernley Elementary, and the Newlands Drive stoplight, where traffic backups and unsafe driving have been reported. Officials say traffic stops aren’t always the best solution and may explore rerouting or alternate pickup locations to improve safety for students and drivers. 10/09/2025 03:53 PM
