Press release from the Menifee Police Department:
The Menifee Police Department issued 41 citations for a variety of violations made by drivers during a bicycle and pedestrian safety operation on Wednesday, Dec. 17, in the City of Menifee.
Additionally, a driver was arrested and cited for driving on a suspended license for a prior DUI. That vehicle was also impounded for the suspended driver’s license, according to an MPD news release.
The operation took place throughout several streets and intersections between the hours of 3-7 p.m. A total of 41 drivers and/or pedestrians were contacted during the operation and cited. The locations observed by officers were frequently traveled by pedestrians and bicyclists.
“Safety is a shared responsibility, with drivers holding the greatest responsibility to keep others on the road safe,” Chief Chris Karrer said. “We hope this operation serves as a reminder to everyone to look out for one another.”
The Menifee Police Department will be holding another bicycle and pedestrian safety operation soon, but a date has not been determined yet.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
