Sheriff’s Office traffic enforcement update for Tuesday
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit will target at least one of the following three locations for enforcement Tuesday, September 1:
– U.S. 41, North Fort Myers
– U.S. 41, South Fort Myers
– State Road 82, Lehigh Acres
Locations are selected based upon high incidents of crashes, traffic surveys and citizen complaints. The Sheriff’s Office is committed to promoting traffic safety and enforcing the law. By focusing on violations such as red light running, speeding, DUI and others, motorists become more alert and are encouraged to obey traffic laws.
Citizens can help by letting us know if they observe problem areas, aggressive or impaired drivers and by their compliance with the rules of the road. To get in touch with one of our traffic deputies call (239) 477-1000. If you see a reckless or drunk driver while you are traveling in your motor vehicle in Lee County, dial 9-1-1.
This traffic enforcement advisory is available each day on the Sheriff’s Office website at www.sheriffleefl.org.
Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.
Note: By now, drivers should have adjusted to the school traffic changes. Deputies will be enforcing traffic and pedestrian laws throughout the week at many local schools. Please drive carefully and inform our Traffic Unit at (239) 477-1000 if you see any traffic issues at any Lee County school.
