The Carson City Sheriff’s Office and the Nevada Highway Patrol will hold a Joining Forces crosswalk operation Monday in the Carson City area. A second operation will be held on August 23.
Deputies dressed in bright orange clothing will cross streets utilizing marked crosswalks as well as traffic light controlled intersections where pedestrians cross.
Deputies and Troopers assigned to this operation will be looking for drivers who fail to stop for the pedestrians in the crosswalk. This event is designed to help reduce the number of pedestrian versus vehicle crashes through the education and enforcement of pedestrian related issues.
Grant funding for this event is provided by the Nevada Department of Public Safety-Office of Traffic Safety.
