TPD To Conduct Proactive Patrol to Improve Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
The Tallahassee Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of
pedestrians and bicyclists through education and visibility. Leon County is one
of the top 25 counties in the state for traffic crashes resulting in serious
and fatal injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists.
TPD will conduct proactive patrols starting today, Nov. 19, through February
2021 in an effort to reduce the number of crashes in pre-determined areas
through a High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) Detail. HVE Details are funded
through a contract with the University of North Florida in partnership with the
Florida Department of Transportation. The goal of this enforcement effort is to
increase compliance and awareness regarding traffic laws that protect the
safety of our most vulnerable road users in areas with a high number of traffic
crashes.
Enforcement efforts will focus primarily on education to drivers, pedestrians
and bicyclists; however, violations may result in warnings or citations
depending on the circumstances.
Here are tips to help keep everyone safe on the road:
Drivers, obey speed limits, never drive impaired and always watch for
pedestrians and bicyclists.
Bicyclists, obey traffic laws, ride in the direction of traffic and use lights
when riding at night.
Pedestrians, cross in crosswalks or at intersections, obey pedestrian signals
and make sure you are visible to drivers when walking at night.
