A common mistake by drivers is to speed up and merge with the traffic that has the right of way, instead of coming to a stop and allowing those with the right-of-way to pass. If the yield sign is in your lane, approach the intersection with caution, be prepared to stop and allow the safe flow of those with the right-of-way.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit is providing the information listed below in continuing efforts to increase traffic safety awareness and education, plus to emphasize the importance of obeying traffic laws to reduce traffic crashes, injuries and death on Lee County roads.

Friday, Sept. 3, 2010, the Traffic Unit will target at least one of the following three locations for enforcement:

1. Homestead Road, Lehigh Acres

2. River Ranch Road, Estero

3. U.S. 41 @ Gladiolus Drive, Fort Myers

Locations are selected based upon high incidents of crashes, traffic surveys and citizen complaints. The Sheriff’s Office is committed to promoting traffic safety and enforcing the law. By focusing on violations such as red light running, speeding, DUI and others, motorists become more alert and are encouraged to obey traffic laws. The Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit and District Patrol Deputies enforce our traffic laws each day by issuing citations and warnings.

Preliminary results from their cumulative activity yesterday are as follows:

Citations Issued: 116

Written Warnings Issued: 243

Citizens can help by letting us know if they observe problem areas, aggressive or impaired drivers and by their compliance with the rules of the road. To get in touch with one of our traffic deputies call (239) 477-1000. If you see a reckless or drunk driver while you are traveling in your motor vehicle in Lee County, dial 9-1-1.

This traffic enforcement advisory is available each day on the Sheriff’s Office website at www.sheriffleefl.org.

Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.”

Note: Periodically, downpours create treacherous road conditions. Slow down and increase distance between you and other vehicles to prevent mishaps. Also, remember to turn your lights on, as required under Florida law, when you encounter not only rain, but fog and smoke, too.
