The Jackson Police Department conducted aggressive enforcement actions this week on the “Do Not Block Driveway” signs posted at the driveway exit from the Police Department on Hwy 88. Officers issued a total of thirty nine citations, mostly between the hours of noon and 1 pm and 3 to 5 pm. In addition to the driveway violations, five seat belt tickets, and one red light running violation was also issued. During peak traffic hours, it has been difficult for patrol officers to exit the driveway. Patrol Officers are blocked in by motorists who do not heed the “Do Not Block Driveway” and “Emergency Access Do Not Block” signs or the “Keep Clear” painted on the pavement of the highway. In 2005, after the installation of the traffic signal, CalTrans was made aware of the problem. After surveying the intersection, an additional sign “Emergency Access- Do Not Block” was installed in addition to the already posted “Do Not Block Driveway”. The Jackson Police Department will be out again aggressively enforcing the clearance of the driveway. The JPD is asking all motorists to please obey the posted signs. Minutes DO matter when responding to an emergency.
