Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Operation Planned for October 14, 2021.
The Oxnard Police Department will conduct a bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement operation on October 14, 2021, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. aimed at keeping people out exercising or enjoying the outdoors safe.
The Oxnard Police Department recognizes the need to protect the public by looking for violations made by bicyclists, drivers and pedestrians that make roads unsafe.
These violations include drivers speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, failing to stop for signs and signals or any other traffic violation by bike riders or pedestrians.
The safety of bicyclists and pedestrians remains a top priority for the Oxnard Police Department. To keep you and your family safe, the Oxnard Police Department offers the following tips when out biking, driving, or walking:
PEDESTRIANS
● Only cross at marked crosswalks or intersections with a stop sign or signal.
● Look for cars backing up. Avoid going between parked cars.
● Make eye contact with drivers. Don’t assume they see you.
● Wear bright clothing during the day and use a flashlight when walking at night.
