橙县警长办公室10月23日在 Laguna Woods 开展交通执法：专查危害骑行者与行人的危险驾驶
位于加州橙县的 Laguna Woods 市将迎来一次针对危险驾驶的专项执法。橙县警长办公室10月21日宣布，将于10月23日在 Laguna Woods 市开展交通安全执法行动，重点查处对骑自行车者与行人安全威胁最大的驾驶行为。
警长办公室表示，此次行动查处的行为包括超速、违规转弯、不让行骑行者或行人，以及不按交通标志与信号停车。警长办公室警佐 K. Ishii 说：「我们都有要去的地方，但不是每个人都开车到达。骑行者与行人和车辆享有同样的道路权利，却因为没有车辆的保护而面临更大风险。我们都应当彼此照应。」
根据警长办公室的说明，该项目的经费来自加州交通安全办公室经美国国家公路交通安全管理局提供的拨款。Laguna Woods 是橙县警长办公室提供警务服务的签约城市之一。
警长办公室在公告中列出面向行人、驾驶人与骑行者的安全要点：行人应走人行横道并注意来车，夜间穿浅色或反光衣物；驾驶人应在路口减速、在人行横道前做好停车准备且不得酒驾；骑行者应遵守交通规则、使用手势信号、夜间使用车灯并佩戴头盔。
Orange County Sheriff to Run Traffic Safety Operation in Laguna Woods on October 23
Laguna Woods, a city in Orange County, California, will see a focused traffic safety operation this week. The Orange County Sheriff's Department announced on October 21 that it will conduct the operation in Laguna Woods on October 23, targeting the driver behaviors that put people biking or walking at the greatest risk.
The department said the violations in focus include speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield or provide the right of way to bicyclists or pedestrians, and failing to stop for signs and signals. "We all have places to be and not everyone gets there by car," Sergeant K. Ishii said. "Bicyclists and pedestrians have the same rights to the road but face even more risk without the protections vehicles have. We should all be looking out for one another."
Funding for the program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the department said. Laguna Woods is one of the contract cities served by the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
In its announcement, the department listed safety steps for pedestrians, drivers and bicyclists: pedestrians should use crosswalks and watch for approaching vehicles and wear light colors or reflective material at night; drivers should slow down at intersections, be prepared to stop at crosswalks and never drive impaired; bicyclists should obey traffic laws, use hand signals and lights at night, and wear a helmet.
