As part of its ongoing efforts to improve school zone safety in Susanville, the California Highway Patrol, will be conducting a school zone enforcement operation that will focus on traffic safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists on roadways adjacent to schools. The enforcement operation will take place on September 7th, at Richmond Elementary School, located at 700-585 Richmond Road.
“Regrettably,” explains CHP Public Information Officer Kristen Wilburn, “every year students are injured on their way to and from school as a result of traffic related incidents. The CHP is committed to preventing these tragic events and is leading the effort with proactive enforcement and education programs.”
The CHP is conducting this public awareness and enforcement program to educate and encourage members of the community to develop and maintain safe practices while driving, walking and bicycling near schools.
School zone enforcement actions are an effective way to communicate laws to the public. The CHP conducts school zone enforcement actions in response to community requests and to educate the public on the rules of the road.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
