Hillsboro Police Conducting Crosswalk Enforcement

- 05/24/19

Next Wednesday, the Hillsboro Police Department is conducting a pedestrian safety enforcement operation to raise awareness of crosswalk safety for drivers and pedestrians. Motorists must stop and yield to pedestrians waiting to cross or crossing the roadway, and at all crosswalks when a vehicle is stopped in an adjacent lane.



Drivers should give pedestrians space and slow down. It is the pedestrian’s responsibility to stop, look, and listen while at a crosswalk.

Pedestrian fatalities accounted for 16% of all Oregon fatal crashes in 2017. Pedestrian injury is a leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children.



This operation is grant-funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact. For more information, please contact Sgt. Jincy Pace at 503-615-6665.
