LCSO updates daily traffic enforcement
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit is providing the information listed below
in continuing efforts to increase traffic safety awareness and education, plus to
emphasize the importance of obeying traffic laws to reduce traffic crashes, injuries
and death on Lee County roads.
On Friday, Sept. 16, 2011, the Traffic Unit will target at least one of the
following three locations for enforcement:
1. Hickory Boulevard, Bonita Springs
2. Summerlin Road, Fort Myers
3. Ben C. Pratt Six-Mile Cypress Parkway, Fort Myers
Locations are selected based upon high incidents of crashes, traffic surveys and
citizen complaints. The Sheriff’s Office is committed to promoting traffic safety and
enforcing the law. By focusing on violations such as red light running, speeding, DUI
and others, motorists become more alert and are encouraged to obey traffic laws.
The Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit and District Patrol Deputies enforce our traffic laws
each day by issuing citations and warnings. Preliminary results from their cumulative
activity yesterday are as follows:
Citations Issued: 71
Written Warnings Issued: 189
Citizens can help by letting us know if they observe problem areas, aggressive or
impaired drivers and by their compliance with the rules of the road. To get in touch
with one of our traffic deputies call 477-1000. If you see a reckless or drunk
driver while you are traveling in your motor vehicle in Lee County, dial 9-1-1.
Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and
pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and
property damage.”
Note One of the most common causes of crashes at intersections is
running a red light. The safe driver is disciplined to resist the
temptation to “beat the light”, opting to approach with caution and
prepared to stop. We encourage motorists to adopt this practice to
reduce these injury and property damage crashes. Take your time,
be alert and give traffic safety the attention it deserves.
