Flashing yellow lights at a crosswalk? Here's your reminder to slow down, stay alert, and watch for pedestrians.

Five things to remember when approaching these crossings:
🚸 Slow down and look. Flashing lights alert drivers that someone may be crossing. Be prepared to stop.
🚸 Always yield to pedestrians. Whether the lights are flashing or not, yield to anyone entering or crossing the crosswalk.
🚸 Wait until it's safe. Give pedestrians plenty of time and space. Even if they've passed your lane, only proceed when you can do so safely without interfering with them.
🚸 Never pass a stopped vehicle. If a vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian, don't go around it. Someone could be crossing outside your view.
🚸 No pedestrians? Proceed with caution. Flashing lights alone don't require you to stop if nobody is entering or crossing.

A little extra attention goes a long way toward keeping our streets safe.

Thanks for looking out for each other, Folsom!

Join us in congratulating Sergeant Major Susan DeMasters, U.S. Army (Retired), this year’s Wayne Spence Veterans Day Parade grand marshal. Thank you for your service to our country and community!

Announcing Our 2026 Veterans Day Parade Grand Marshal!

The City of Folsom is proud to announce Sergeant Major Susan DeMasters, U.S. Army (Retired), as the Grand Marshal of the 26th Annual Wayne Spence Veterans Day Parade!

With more than 40 years of military and federal service, Sergeant Major DeMasters has dedicated her life to serving our country and supporting veterans and their families.

Beginning her military career in the California Army National Guard in 1980, she served in leadership roles across the United States and overseas. Following September 11, 2001, she played a key role in mobilizing military personnel, helping coordinate the deployment of more than 22,000 soldiers in support of military operations.

After retiring from active duty in 2006, she continued serving veterans through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs until 2018. Today, she remains actively involved in the Folsom community through Wreaths Across America, Team Red, White & Blue, the American Legion, and other veterans organizations.

Please join us in congratulating Sergeant Major DeMasters and thanking her for her extraordinary service to our country and community!

We look forward to honoring her at this year's Wayne Spence Veterans Day Parade as we come together to recognize those who have served.
