In an effort to reduce traffic accidents and promote motor vehicle safety, the Lincoln Police Department will be working in conjunction with the Nebraska State Patrol in conducting traffic enforcement details July through September. Dates of the enforcement have not yet been released.
The objective is to continue a High Visibility Traffic Enforcement Detail within the city of Lincoln in an effort to reduce the number of vehicle accidents and promote safe and responsible driving behavior. This will be a joint detail with an emphasis on O Street between 17th and 93th Streets.
The Nebraska Office of Highway Safety is providing the overtime funding for the increased enforcement. It is LPD’s hope that by raising awareness, along with added enforcement, they can help reduce the number of traffic accidents resulting in injury or death in 2021 compared to 2020.
