Pedestrian enforcement operation set for Monday
The
Florence
Police
Department will conduct a
Pedestrian
Enforcement
Operation at Highway 101 and
15th Street on Monday, June 8,
from noon to 3 p.m.
It will be canceled if it is
raining.
Under Oregon law, a cross-
walk exists at any public street
intersection, whether marked
with paint or unmarked.
Crosswalks
also
exist
between intersections (mid-
block) where indicated with
white paint. At a traffic signal,
drivers must:
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane in which the
driver is traveling and the adja-
cent lane.
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane into which the
driver’s vehicle is turning and
at least 6 feet of the adjacent
lane.
At any other crosswalk –
those without a signal – drivers
must:
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane in which the
driver is traveling and the adja-
cent lane.
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane into which the
driver’s vehicle is turning and
the adjacent lane.
• Stop and remain stopped
for students crossing (or about
to cross) a street under the
direction of a crossing guard.
• Stop and remain stopped
for a blind or blind and deaf
pedestrian using a cane or a
guide dog, until the pedestrian
is completely across the road-
way.

A stopped car may be a clue
that a pedestrian is crossing.
Don’t pass until you know
what is going on. In fact, it is
not only unsafe but also illegal
in Oregon to pass a vehicle
stopped at a crosswalk for a
pedestrian.
Giving pedestrians more
space and slowing down in
their presence can save lives.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles
at 40 mph have an 85 percent
chance of dying in the colli-
sion.
That death rate drops to 15
percent at 20 mph.
