TO TURN OR NOT TO TURN? <br />Right turns on red are allowed at signalized intersections if not <br />prohibited by signs. Motorists are cautioned to be especially <br />aware of pedestrians who are legally crossing the street on <br />either a green “WALK” or a flashing “DON'T WALK” signal. <br />Pedestrians are also cautioned to be aware of motorists who <br />are making the right turn on red. It's a good practice to make <br />eye contact with the driver whenever crossing any street to help <br />assure a safer crossing. <br />Be aware of pedestrians. <br /> <br />DON'T GO OVER THE LINE! <br />Vehicle detectors are increasingly being used at signalized <br />intersections to provide more efficient phasing and timing of the <br />signals. The type of detection system used by the County is <br />called “presence.” This means that you must stop at the marked <br />stop-line in order for you to get the green light. If you “creep” <br />pass the stop-line before getting a green signal, your “call” will <br />be dropped and the green light will not appear until someone <br />else stops at the stop-line. <br />Stop at the marked line. <br /> <br />STEALING & VANDALIZING <br />TRAFFIC SIGNS <br />Many people believe that the act of stealing or defacing traffic <br />signs is a harmless prank. Well, it's not! Stolen stop <br />signs are the most serious problem, with vandalized warning <br />signs coming in a close second. Anyone caught is subject <br />to criminal prosecution. Traffic signs are installed to <br />make driving on our streets safer for everyone. <br />If your child or someone you know has one of our signs in <br />their room, please help make them understand that someone <br />could get seriously injured or killed because of their <br />“harmless prank.” <br />Not a harmless prank!
