Increased Police Surveillance Due to High Frequency of Bike/Pedestrian Accidents in Florida
In an effort to combat a surprising frequency of crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is directing several thousands of dollars in specifically earmarked funds to improve the conditions of several high-priority intersections in Deltona. The prospective improvements focus on driver education, increased warnings, and increased ticket distribution along these intersections. Deputies in the Volusia County Sheriff’s department will be posted along the specific intersections to provide increased surveillance and, hopefully, reduce the number of accidents that occur in these corridors.
