DATE:           November 19, 2020

SUBJECT:    Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Operations

LOCATION:  City of Oxnard

CONTACT:   Jose Diaz, Senior Traffic Officer

                     (805) 385-7749 | [email protected]

 

Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Operations Planned for November 21, 2020 and November 22, 2020.

 

The Oxnard Police Department will conduct two bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement operations on November 21, 2020, and November 22, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. aimed at keeping people who need to go out to exercise or run essential errands safe.

 

While the COVID-19 pandemic is requiring residents to stay home as much as possible, the Oxnard Police Department recognizes the need to protect the public by looking for violations made by bicyclists, drivers, and pedestrians that make roads unsafe.

 

These violations include drivers speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, failing to stop for signs and signals, or any other traffic violation. Officers will also look for pedestrians who cross the street illegally or fail to yield to drivers who have the right of way. Bike riders will be stopped when riding on the wrong side of the road, not complying with stop signs and signals, or other violations of the same traffic laws that apply to them as drivers.

 

The safety of bicyclists and pedestrians remains a top priority for the Oxnard Police Department.  To keep you and your family safe, the Oxnard Police Department offers the following tips when out biking, driving, or walking:

 

PEDESTRIANS

●       Only cross at marked crosswalks or intersections with a stop sign or signal.

●       Look for cars backing up. Avoid going between parked cars.

●       Make eye contact with drivers. Don’t assume they see you.

●       Wear bright clothing during the day and use a flashlight when walking at night.

 

DRIVERS

●       Wait for pedestrians to cross the street. Be courteous and patient.

●       Stay off the phone.

●       Follow the speed limit.

●       Look for pedestrians when backing up or turning.

 

BICYCLISTS

●       Always wear a helmet. Helmets are required by law for anyone under 18.

●       Bicyclists must travel in the same direction of traffic and have the same requirements as any slow-moving vehicle.

 

Everyone who is out is reminded to practice physical distancing measures, when feasible, staying at least six feet away from others.

 

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Oxnard Police Department Holding DUI Checkpoint on November 20, 2020

 

The Oxnard Police Department will hold a DUI Checkpoint on Friday, November 20, 2020, from 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at an undisclosed location within the city limits. 

 

Checkpoint locations are chosen based on a history of DUI crashes and arrests. The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired.

 

During the checkpoint, officers will look for signs that drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

 

The Oxnard Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. Always follow directions for use and read warning labels about driving or operating heavy machinery, which includes driving a car. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

 

If you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your ability to drive safely, plan on staying at home.

 

Drivers charged with DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
