Lincoln Police Department will be conducting its Back to School Traffic Enforcement Project beginning Wednesday, August 12th through Wednesday, September 2nd. This will allow the placement of additional officers each day at and around public and parochial schools for traffic and pedestrian safety.
Officers will be watching for traffic violations, including motorcycles speeding through school zones, vehicles driving past school bus flashing lights and stop arms and for those not buckled up. There will also be a strict enforcement of the 25 MPH Flashing yellow school zones. Fines of $600 could be issued for speeding violations.
Drivers are asked to be aware of flashing yellow lights and watch your speed around elementary and middle schools.
This project, funded by a grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety,
