Police agencies in Onondaga County will be on the lookout during August for drivers who run stop signs or fail to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.  The joint effort by local law enforcement is the latest in a targeted enforcement effort this year.

Police agencies have targeted a particular violation each month. Previously police have cracked down on  vehicles with windows tinted too dark, cell phone use and texting, seat belts, use of motorcycle helmets, and speeding. 

The stop sign and crosswalk violations are the target for August.

With the start of school next month, police will be watching for drivers who speed in school zones and pass stopped school buses.
