Waynesboro, PA – The Waynesboro Police Department will be conducting a targeted pedestrian safety enforcement wave from August 14 through September 17, 2022.

While pedestrian safety is always a primary concern, this enforcement wave will target specific areas for intensified enforcement activities. 

More than 6 in 10 people walk for transportation, exercise, relaxation, or for other activities. The benefits of walking extend beyond personal and physical, to environmental benefits that can lead to healthier, quieter, cleaner, and safer streets. Walking can also improve local economies and enhance social and community engagement, leading to more vibrant, resilient, and livable spaces.

Unfortunately, in 2019 there were 6,205 pedestrians killed and 76,000 injured in traffic crashes. On average, a pedestrian was killed every 85 minutes and injured every 7 minutes in 2019. Please use these materials to increase awareness about how we can combat pedestrian crashes in our communities.
