The Concord Police Department will conduct a traffic enforcement operation intended to educate drivers and pedestrians on traffic laws meant to keep them safe on the road.
This evening between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., officers will be looking for illegal and dangerous violations made by drivers.
Special attention will be directed towards speeding, red light violations, distracted driving, making illegal turns, not stopping for signs and signals or any other traffic violation.
Extra officers will be on duty patrolling the areas where traffic congestion and collisions occur. The goal of this enforcement operation is to decrease traffic related injuries and deaths, while encouraging safe driving.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The wife was given a speeding ticket on Clayton Road several years ago.
She waited and waited for a notice to appear that never came.
She got worried after not hearing from the court for many months.
She called the court and was told if she hadn’t heard in a year she was clear.
Never did receive the notice, so the ticket vanished down a rabbit hole.
Saved over $500 and she learned to slow down.
Unpaid traffic violations never go away in California, someday she may get pulled over and find out the hard way. If there is a bench warrant out on her, she will go directly to jail. She should go the court in person to get it resolved.
65 on willow pass……… ummm cool
Traffic was light, road was dry, weather was clear. If the basic speed law says drive slower than the posted speed limit when traffic is heavy, roads are wet or weather is bad, seems fair to drive faster than the posted limit when conditions are best.
Old School,
This was at Clayton way, Not where it goes through the Naval Weapons. Unacceptable to be going 65 in a 35.
I better be careful on my way home from work tonight. Sometimes, when I’m not careful, I’ve been known to hit almost 4mph.
Lol. If you don’t want to get anywhere fast, go during commute hours.
I hope the Police have their rain gear on, they will be spending a lot of time outside talking to their customers.People get even dumber driving when it is raining.
Are they really? As I was waiting to cross the street this evening, along side a cop car (to my left), also waiting to go in the same direction, a car (from the opposite direction) made a left turn on a red,…in front of the Cop, on his/her green light! Also, the crosswalk was green as well. Did the Cop go after the A-hole driver? Hell no! It was raining. Maybe the Cop didn’t want to get out of the car, or had a more important call, or who the hell knows? The sight of it all just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Maybe you just perceived it all wrong?….who the hell knows?

What can I say? It was one of those W.T.F. moments.
