Pedestrian Safety Campaign
With the Holiday Season upon us we anticipate our annual influx of pedestrian and motorist traffic in Downtown Walnut Creek and throughout the City. Because we want to ensure the highest degree of public safety, we will be implementing a Pedestrian Safety Campaign during this holiday season. This campaign is a public information and education program. It is meant to keep our citizens and visitors safe when our roads are most congested with pedestrians and motorists.
The goal of the program is to increase the community's awareness of pedestrian safety by educating pedestrians, drivers, and the community about devices like crosswalks and pedestrian traffic signals that help to keep pedestrians safe. Likewise, we hope to raise awareness among drivers and remind them to always look for, and stop for, pedestrians, especially at designated crossing locations. In addition, the Walnut Creek Police Department will be providing crossing guards at the Mt. Diablo/Broadway Plaza crosswalk during the busiest weekend hours in an effort to manage traffic flow and keep pedestrians safe. The public can also expect additional patrols of officers on foot, bicycle and motorcycles in an effort to increase pedestrian safety during this busy time.
Questions can be directed to Lieutenant Bryan Hill at 925-256-3592.
We wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday Season.
