The Goleta Police Department Traffic Unit issued 53 traffic citations for various violations committed by drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians during three safety operations in May.
The citations addressed vehicle code violations where bicyclists or pedestrians made unsafe choices. Drivers were cited for infractions that posed risks to bicycles or pedestrians. Several minors on bicycles and e-bikes were reminded of the requirement for riders under 18 years of age to wear a bicycle helmet.
The operations took place within the City of Goleta limits during six-hour periods.
“Traffic safety is everyone’s responsibility, especially when we are sharing roadways,” said Sergeant Noel Rivas of the Goleta Police Department. “Our main goal is that everyone gets home to their friends and families.”
Police services for the City of Goleta are provided by the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
