Aurora, Colorado (KDVR)-After the death of a 12-year-old boy in the Aurora Corridor, the Fox31 police reported the traffic they are doing to prevent it from happening again.
This week, we got the operation at work. Data from the beginning of the year to August 12 shows 172 infantry accidents in Aurora, with eight killers.
“We had a lot of recent dangerous incidents,” the sergeant. Bill Hamel said. “Certainly, those who attract everyone’s attention when we have teenagers and children in society. This is not acceptable, especially at a time when people are spent while driving. They hurry 100 % of these things, their shape or shape. This is what we are trying to do, is to reach people.”
Watch the Fox31 about an hour of the pedestrian traffic application with the Aurora Police crew on Thursday, where Illif Avenue Road meets. Hamil says that Grant Money allows the administration to conduct enforcement throughout the year in an attempt to reduce traffic injuries and deaths. You can watch the process in the video above.
“The vast majority of the enforcement we do is not punitive, it is already educational,” Hamil said. “We will have a brief conversation with one of the pedestrians to the right of the road, perhaps with a mark or go out to traffic and just try to educate them on these serious dangers and the number of accidents that were already about pedestrians.”
About an hour, Fox31 witnessed six people who were monitored and stopped; One got a ticket for no insurance.
The traffic operation on Wednesday led to:
- 22 call infantry violation
- Six summons for her failure to undergo pedestrians
- Five other traffic calls
- Four arrest warrant
- Three traffic warnings
“You will contact the people you may have just contacted to walk, and this is a benign thing, but you find on the road more dangerous than that,” Hummel said.
At an intersection of six lanes, the officers said a good base is to allow pedestrians to pass the double yellow lines before starting to rotate.
