Between the participating agencies, 335 citations were handed out and 318 warnings given, with a majority of citations going to motorists and a majority of the warnings going to pedestrians. Officers were focusing on drivers making illegal turns, failing to stop at a signal or stop sign before a crosswalk, failing to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, and blocking a roadway that interferes with the normal flow of traffic. Officers focused on pedestrians not following traffic control signals, not walking on a sidewalk where provided, and not walking facing traffic when walking on a roadway.
In Michigan, 149 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2019.
The enforcement campaign is supported with federal traffic safety funds provided by the United States Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and coordinated by the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning.
