Carson City sheriff's deputies issue 29 warnings during crosswalk operation
Carson City Sheriff's Office conducted a Crosswalk Enforcement Operation Tuesday that resulted in 29 individuals being stopped, said Sgt. Scott McDaniel.
Of these stops, 21 were for failing to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. In addition 2 stops were made for following too closely, four for speeding, and two for cell phone use.
"It's significantly lower than what we've issued in the past," said McDaniel. "Given the nature of the holidays and the amount of drivers on the road, we're pleased to see motorists paying attention."
Similar operations held this summer netted 93 citations. The coordinated operations have happened due to several pedestrian accidents at crosswalks this year.
