Police Traffic Enforcement in Vallejo
The number of cases involving vehicles colliding with pedestrians in Vallejo has increased. However, authorities are stepping up and improving the safety of pedestrians on the street by monitoring drivers on the roadways.
Why?
The Vallejo Police Department Traffic Division will issue citations for drivers found violating traffic laws. The department has created a map of the locations of pedestrian accidents within the past three years. Some of the factors that cause pedestrian accidents consist of drivers speeding, driving under the influence, failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians walking on the crosswalk, and pedestrians walking outside the crosswalk boundaries.
