Monticello targets moving vehicle violations
With the summer season beginning, Monticello Village Manager Richard Sush said the village police department will be cracking down on moving vehicle violations.
Police will be targeting violations like speeding, U-turns on Broadway, not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks, running red lights, turning where turns are prohibited, all of which are violations of traffic law and create dangerous conditions.
Sush said he recently heard of two pedestrians stuck in the center of a crosswalk on Broadway who couldn’t get to the other side of the street because motorists wouldn’t stop. He said state law requires motorists to stop in both directions when a pedestrian enters a crosswalk. “Our traffic laws are not suggestions. They are laws and must be obeyed for the safety of all of us,” he said.
