Traffic Safety Unit
 

The goal of the Traffic Safety Unit is to use education, engineering and enforcement to increase traffic safety in San Luis Obispo. Input from the community is important to reveal problem areas.

The unit is currently staffed with one Sergeant and four officers who work from fully marked police motorcycles.

Weekly Traffic Enforcement Focus Area

The department will be focusing on speed and red light violations on Madonna Road this week. This roadway has a high volume of traffic, and it is important for all to abide by the traffic laws to increase safety of the vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.  

Education:

Do you ride a moped, motorcycle, or scooter?

 Officer Gallo, who is a member of the Traffic Safety Unit, complied a reference sheet to summarize the laws governing two and three wheeled vehicles from the California Vehicle Code .           Click Here

The National Click-it or Ticket Campaign is starting on November 17, 2009 and will run throughout the year.  The Office of Traffic Safety has funded overtime for officers to conduct saturation patrols each month to increase seatbelt use. Please wear your seat belt to be a good example to others and to increase safety while in transit.
