Lafayette Police to maintain targeted traffic enforcement

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — The Lafayette Police Department said it is maintaining focused traffic enforcement efforts within the S. College Road to Ambassador Caffery Parkway corridor.

In a news release issued Tuesday afternoon, LPD said the area is a known cut-through for motorists, and that enforcement will be conducted periodically throughout the day.

“The Lafayette Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of all citizens and motorists,” the release read. “This enforcement is a direct response to observed traffic violations that pose a risk to public safety in this heavily traveled area.”

Last week, over a four-day period, LPD traffic officers issued a total of 45 citations in this area, officials said. The violations included speeding and running stop signs.

Earlier this month, LPD increased enforcement targeting red light violations, resulting in hundreds of drivers cited. The 5-week focused effort that ended April 11 resulted in a total of 407 citations.

“LPD will maintain an increased presence and continue to concentrate on this corridor until a significant reduction in the number of citations issued indicates improved driver compliance with traffic laws,” the release read. “Motorists are urged to exercise caution, adhere to posted speed limits, and obey all traffic control devices while traveling through this area.”
