DETALLES:
Traffic Enforcement Operation Plan for Oxnard
El Departamento de Policía de Oxnard será la realización de una bicicleta & Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Operation on May 2, 2017. The goal of this operation is to help reduce the number of collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists by enforcing the traffic violations that often result in these collisions.
For the past three years the Oxnard Police Department has identified several locations throughout the City where there has been an unusually high number of collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists.
Los oficiales estarán en busca de violaciónes cometidos por los conductores, ciclistas, and pedestrians alike that often lead to life changing injuries. Special attention will be directed towards drivers who are speeding, hacer giros ilegales, no detener los signos y señales, failing to yield to pedestrians in cross walks, and any other dangerous violations.
Citations will also be issued to pedestrians who are observed crossing streets illegally or failing to yield to drivers who have the right of way. Bicyclists will also receive citations when they fail to follow the same traffic laws that apply to motorists. The Oxnard Police Department urges all bicyclists to always wear a helmet. Bicyclist under the age of 18 are required to do so by law. Pedestrians should cross streets only in marked crosswalks or at corners.
Bicycle and pedestrian fatalities are on the rise in California as more people use these non-motorized means of transportation. Locally, the Oxnard Police Department has investigated 14 fatal and 506 injury collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists during the past 3 año. En 2013, California fue testigo 701 peatones y 141 ciclistas muertos, que representan más del 28 por ciento de todas las muertes de tráfico.
La financiación de este programa es proporcionado por una subvención de la Oficina de Seguridad del Tráfico en California a través de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial.
