Cross with Care campaign

The first week of the South Simcoe Police "Cross with Care" safety campaign has wrapped up. Officers have been assigned to monitor both vehicular and pedestrian traffic in and around pedestrian cross walks in the downtown areas of Bradford. The following are the statistics for the campaign thus far.

Vehicle Charges : 47 Vehicle Cautions: 75

Pedestrian Cautions: 31

The campaign will continue to run for another two weeks. Officers have been reminding pedestrians and motorists alike of the rules of road when it comes to pedestrian cross walks. Even with the heavy police presence, two motorists still did not get the message. Both were charged with speeding in the pedestrian cross walk. One was clocked at 90 km/h and the other at 98 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone.
