MANCHESTER, KY - The Manchester Police Department is urging all drivers to prioritize pedestrian safety by adhering to traffic laws and stopping at crosswalks.
Drivers are reminded that pedestrians have the right of way at marked and unmarked crosswalks. Stopping for pedestrians to cross the street is not just courteous - it’s the law.
By stopping at crosswalks, drivers contribute to a safer and more welcoming community for all.
Manchester Police Officers will be advised to start issuing traffic citations for failure to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
Thank you and as always, "Be safe Manchester"!
