Tigard Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Underway 

6/7/24

Tigard, OR. – Official Release: The Tigard Police Department is conducting a pedestrian safety enforcement until noon today, Friday, June 7^th.

The enforcement will be held at marked and unmarked crosswalks throughout the city, including:

• SW McDonald Street & SW 100^th Avenue
• SW 121^st Avenue & SW Summer Crest Drive
• SW Gaarde Street & SW Greenfield Drive

As a reminder, every intersection – whether marked or not – is considered a crosswalk in Oregon. One of the goals of this enforcement detail is to raise driver awareness about pedestrian safety, which also reduces the risk of automobile-pedestrian crashes and injuries. Depending on the circumstances of the situation, drivers could be issued warnings or citations.

This safety mission is made possible thanks to federal grant dollars for officer overtime, which are distributed by the Oregon Department of Transportation and managed by Oregon Impact.
