Salt Lake City police conducted a crosswalk safety enforcement after at least half a dozen people have been hit by cars — and a 31-year-old man lost his life this past week.
It didn’t take long for officers to issue citations to several drivers for going well over the 35 mph speed limit. They reminded drivers to slow down and obey traffic laws.
“It’s a full-time unit and part of their primary responsibility, they are doing traffic education and traffic enforcement,” said Salt Lake police Sgt. Mark Wian. “We want to make sure community members, no matter how they’re using the roadways or doing it, are doing it as responsible as they can.”
