Fernley’s school zone traffic is getting extra attention from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office. Congestion, red-light runners, and slow-moving vehicles during drop-off and pick-up have made areas like Hardie Lane and Cottonwood Elementary tricky to navigate. Officials say issuing citations isn’t always the answer and are exploring solutions like rerouting traffic or adjusting pickup locations. As Chief Deputy Mitch Brantingham noted, sometimes the fix isn’t a ticket—it’s a rethink. 10/09/2025 04:04 PM
