    It should be safer, but also be careful lest you get a ticket yourself…

    John

    Police say they plan to ticket pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers who violate traffic and jaywalking laws.

    “Officers will ticket motorists who violate traffic laws or do not yield for pedestrians in crosswalks,” according to a police press release. “In addition, pedestrians will be cited for jaywalking. Public Service Aides will hand out safety information to drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists who commute through these busy intersections.”

    The enforcement campaign will begin from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and noon to 1:00 p.m. on Thursday and continue on weekdays until the Nov. 24, the Monday before Thanksgiving.

    Or is everyone over talking about the IoD after the recent epic thread?

    I hope they mean it when they say they’re going to ticket everyone.

    Ditto about 45 minutes later around 8 am. Of course, they’re going to do this tomorrow morning and probably find few folks given it’s supposed to rain.

    What are those black box contraptions attached to some of the light posts? At first I thought they were some kind of camera, but I do not think they are. They’re really only at IOD-area. I haven’t seen them elsewhere.

    If you think Arlington Police presence at IoD is a good thing, please provide them feedback.
