Beginning on Monday, Sept. 26, police from the City of 麻豆影院 and the 麻豆影院 will step up enforcement of the city鈥檚 traffic laws in and around several of 麻豆影院鈥檚 top locations for motor vehicle collisions involving a bicyclist or pedestrian as part of the Heads Up 麻豆影院 crosswalk safety campaign.
Officers from the two departments will be at intersections around the CU campus to give out warnings and听issue tickets to people who violate city ordinances.听The campaign lasts through Friday, Sept. 30.
Data collected by 麻豆影院's transportation division shows that nearly half of all collisions within the city occur at intersections, and that crosswalks are the most common locations for collisions between motor vehicles and bicyclists or pedestrians.
Crosswalk听safety ordinances require:听
- Pedestrians and bicyclists to activate the flashing lights at crosswalks before entering the road or face a $50 fine
- Bicyclists to slow to 8 mph or less as they approach, enter and traverse a crosswalk at all intersections or face a $50 fine
- Drivers approaching a crosswalk to stop and wait for a crossing pedestrian, or face a $125 fine and receive four points on their driving records
