LAKEPORT, Calif. – In an effort to increase driver awareness and public safety on city streets, the Lakeport Police Department said Thursday its officers will work targeted traffic enforcement details on random days.

The targeted area for the last week of December will be Lakeport Boulevard between S. Main Street and Parallel Drive, according to Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.

After considering community concerns and assessing higher traffic volume areas of the city, Rasmussen said the department intends to increase enforcement of hazardous traffic violations such as speed, improper turning movements, right of way violations, failure to obey traffic signs or signals, impaired driving and use of cellular phones while driving.

He said officers will be working extra traffic enforcement details in this area throughout the

week.

Members of the public are encouraged to contact a department supervisor to discuss any traffic safety concerns they may have.
