LPS & Sheriffs project focusing on pedestrian safety
A new traffic project in Lethbridge aims to improve the safety of pedestrians.
The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) and the Alberta Sheriffs are teaming up to to provide education to pedestrians, especially students and their guardians, regarding safe crossing practices.
LPS says there has been a recent increase in issues related to pedestrian safety and that it is the fault of both pedestrians and drivers.
Education will also be given to drivers to deter speeding, distracted driving, blocking crosswalks and parking too closely to intersections
