Claudio Grandjean, Chief of Police Malaka Kerbs, Public Information Officer

Pedestrian Safety Operation

RELEASE DATE: Aug. 2, 2021

CONTACT PERSON: On Duty PIO

The Gresham Police Department will be conducting a Pedestrian Safety Operation on August 4, 2021 at NW Division St. and NW Sleret Ave. The primary focus of this detail is to raise pedestrian safety awareness of drivers and pedestrians through education and enforcement of pedestrian right of way laws. The detail will be conducted between the hours of 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM; warning signs will be posted prior to entering the pedestrian safety operation zone. Education of both drivers and pedestrians are vital to keeping our roads safe.

Motorists must stop and yield to pedestrians who are waiting to cross or are crossing the roadway. Motorists are also required to stop at all crosswalks when there is a vehicle already stopped in a lane adjacent to the lane, they are traveling in. Refer to Oregon Revised Statue (ORS) 811.028 Failure to stop and remain stopped for pedestrian, for specifics on the law regarding drivers and ORS Chapter 814 for laws pertaining to pedestrians.

Funding for this pedestrian safety detail is made possible through a grant from the Bicycle Transportation Alliance and the Oregon Department of Transportation. Additional details will be scheduled throughout the summer coordinating with the end of the school year and again in September as the new school year begins.

Due to grant restraints the pedestrian safety operation will not be conducted in inclement weather.
