Red Light Violation Detail
February 24, 2011
O’Fallon, MO
The O’Fallon Police Department recently conducted a grant funded Red Light Violation enforcement detail on February 17, 2011 between the hours of 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This detail concentrated on the intersections of Veteran’s Memorial Parkway (South Outer 70) at Bryan Road and Route K at Route N.
The focus of this detail was to deter and enforce red light and failure to yield right of way violations. Both of the above intersections are high violation areas that are also in the top five for intersections with the highest number of crashes.
During this detail a total of 80 citations were issued and of those 58 were either red light violations or failure to yield right of way on green light violations. In addition 1 suspect was charged with driving on a suspended license. During the 4 hour detail two teams of officers worked at both intersections and conducted a total of 67 traffic stops.
Funding for this effort was provided through a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Division in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Missouri Safety Center.
If there are any questions contact Sgt. Michael Plum with the O’Fallon Police Department at 636-379-5636.
