Second pedestrian crosswalk operation planned for August 29
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office will conduct another pedestrian crosswalk operation on Friday, Aug. 29. These operations are conducted to educate the public in pedestrian and driver safety, said Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Scott McDaniel.
Earlier this month, a similar operation was held where 50 traffic citations were issued along the north and south ends of Carson Street.
The operation, in cooperation with the Nevada Highway Patrol, was done as a way to address pedestrian safety and a growing number of motorists failing to yield as pedestrians cross sidewalks, said McDaniel.
In July, Carson City had three injury accidents involving pedestrians who were struck by vehicles as they used marked crosswalks.
