The Lincoln City Police Department plans to conduct a Pedestrian Safety Operation on Thursday, August 11th, 2022, on Hwy 101 in the area between N 10th Street and N 14th Street.
The primary focus of this operation is to raise pedestrian safety awareness. With the use of a decoy pedestrian, the Lincoln City Police Department hopes to raise the awareness of drivers through education and enforcement of pedestrian right of way laws. The operation will be conducted between the hours of 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Warning signs will be posted prior to entering the pedestrian safety operation zone.
LCPD last conducted a pedestrian safety operation on August 16, 2021. During that operation, twelve citations and two warnings were issued for violations of the crosswalk laws (Failing to stop for pedestrian in crosswalk or Passing vehicle stopped at a crosswalk). The members of the Lincoln City Police Department are dedicated to enhancing the safety of citizens and guests of the city and these safety operations are conducted in an effort to reduce the potential for injuries or death to pedestrians.
Funding for the pedestrian safety operations are made possible through a grant provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact.
