Broward County ranks in the top 25 counties in the state for traffic crashes resulting in serious and fatal injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists.
In an effort to protect the safety of these most vulnerable road users, the Hollywood Police Department will conduct High Visibility Enforcement in our most traveled corridors (Hollywood Blvd from I-95 to 441 and Federal HWY from Pembroke Rd. to Sheridan). These areas are over-represented in traffic crashes resulting in serious and fatal injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists.
High Visibility Enforcement details are funded through a contract with the University of North Florida in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation’s focused initiative to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. The goal of this enforcement effort is to increase awareness of and compliance with traffic laws that protect the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. Enforcement efforts will focus primarily on education to drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. However, violations may result in warnings or citations depending on the circumstances, according to the Hollywood Police Department.
