| MPD officers cite drivers for failing to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk on 14th Street NW |
Metropolitan Police Department officers handed tickets to
drivers who failed to stop for pedestrians crossing 14th Street NW
at Wallach Place NW across from Trader Joe’s on August 25. Many drivers, and at
least one bicyclist, were cited for whizzing past pedestrians as they attempted
to cross the busy stretch of road. Pedestrian Advisory Council (PAC) members
Eileen McCarthy, Will Stephens, and George Tobias observed the hour-long
enforcement session. MPD regularly holds such enforcement actions at
unsignalized crosswalks. This video shows MPD officers reacting to drivers
failing to yield to pedestrians and contacting officers stationed at the end of
the block to cite those drivers.
