Beginning on October 27, 2015, The Fairfax County Police Department will be participating in a regional pedestrian and bicycle safety initiative, known as the Street Smart Campaign.
Along with our state and local partners, the Department’s goal is to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities.
During this campaign, officers assigned to each of the eight district stations and the Department’s Traffic Division will be on the lookout for motorist and pedestrian behaviors that have historically been known to contribute to pedestrian-related crashes. Examples of some behaviors include, but are not limited to the following: failure to cross at a marked crosswalk or intersection, pedestrians unlawfully using the roadway for travel where sidewalks are available, distracted driving, failure to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, and speeding.
