Special Enforcement Aims to Crack Down on School Zone Violations

The Hinsdale Police Department will conduct a special traffic enforcement initiative in school zones throughout the village.

Officers will enforce cellphone laws in school zones, school zone speed limits, stop signs and other traffic and parking violations that threaten the safety of pedestrians and other drivers, according to Hinsdale police.

Police will also emphasize construction site safety and truck traffic around schools.

Marked and unmarked police cars will be stationed around schools to remind drivers to obey the law and to catch violators.

Traffic violations such as passing stopped school buses, child safety seat violations and seat belt use, will also be addressed in the special enforcement, according to police.
