Police Utilize Education and Enforcement to Improve Compliance

Wednesday, December 4, 2024
The Cambridge Police Department (CPD) conducts education and enforcement with the goal of reducing harm to those traveling in and through Cambridge and educating all roadway users about safety as part of CPD’s and the City’s commitment to Vision Zero. Locations for education and enforcement are determined by collision data, community feedback, and in coordination with other City agencies.

Areas of enforcement focus include speeding, impaired operation, turn restrictions, trucks operating on restricted ways, bicycle lane violations, bicycle violations, bus lane violations, distracted driving, and redlight/stop sign violations. Additionally, CPD is annually awarded grant funds which allow officers to focus on any risk-taking behavior which endangers the safety of bicyclists and/or pedestrians. Educational efforts around traffic and road safety also focus on hot spots and traffic infractions that frequently contribute to serious injury crashes and traffic congestion.
