The department's fourth and final pedestrian safety operation of the year resulted in six citations for failing to yield. Another 23 drivers were cited for other traffic infractions such as not wearing a seat belt, illegal U-turns, insurance violations and illegal lane changes. Police said they posted warning signs at the intersection on Sunday to let drivers know about the patrol. The first three patrols occurred in May, June and August. In total, the four patrols resulted in 104 vehicles being stopped for failing to yield to pedestrians, with 72 drivers cited. The other 32 drivers were given warnings, police said. Fewer drivers were cited for failing to yield to pedestrians on Monday than in the earlier operations. Police said the reduction was due in part to a Roosevelt Middle School crossing guard who staffed the intersection during part of the patrol. All four operations were done at intersections with marked crosswalks and clear visibility. Citations were issued when officers saw drivers failing to stop for pedestrians who had completely entered the crosswalk, police said.
