Police issued more than five dozen citations Monday during a crackdown on traffic violations in Escondido.
Officers handed out 68 tickets for a variety of violations made by drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians during the operation, which ran from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the Escondido Police Department.
The citations were issued for offenses such as pedestrians walking in vehicle rights of way; bicyclists riding on the wrong side of streets; and motorists speeding, ignoring traffic signs and signals, or using cell phones while motoring.
“Safety is a shared responsibility, with drivers holding the greatest responsibility to keep other road users safe,” interim Escondido Police Chief Kevin Toth said. “We hope this operation serves as a reminder to everyone to practice due care and to look out for one another.”
Funding for the detail came from a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety, administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
