YAKIMA -- It's a drive to keep your kids safe from speeding drivers, andyou can help every time you take out the trash.

    The city of Yakima started giving out large stickers.

    They tell drivers to keep kids alive by driving 25 miles an hour.

    The stickers are meant to be placed on the side of city-issued trash bins.

    That means on any given trash day, there'll be lots of signs telling drivers to slow down.

"When everybody brings out their cans, you'll see this line of signs reminding drivers to slow down, go 25 and it's that visual reminder that we're looking for," says traffic engineer Joan Davenport.

    The trash bin stickers are part of the city's traffic calming project.

    You can pick one up at Public Works on Fruitvale Boulevard.
