- PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK ENFORCEMENT OPERATION - RESULTS
Today we conducted our pedestrian crosswalk enforcement operation in Bay Point on Willow Pass Road in Contra Costa County.
The purpose of this operation was to reduce the number of pedestrians struck by vehicles in crosswalks as well as to reduce the severity of crashes involving pedestrians by bringing attention, enforcement, & education to the area.
Our Officers issued 69 Citations during the operation & impounded 3 vehicles. Please yield for pedestrians in the crosswalk and obey all traffic laws. Thank You.

Needs to be law police do these more often. Just look at how many failed in such a short time. It’s a area in need of repair
that's the whole reason stuff like this gets organized. It helps! But a lot of people despize it... probably because that means they cant break the law anymore to make their trip last 21 seconds shorter.
Where is Stanley Roberts when you need him lol?
I MISS Stanley ...... Too many people ARE BEHAVING BADLY, these days ...........
There was a time when motorists would stop on a dime and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks...those days are long gone. Good to see enforcement for this!
There was a time when traffic deaths per motor vehicle / per kilometer was way and way worse than it is now.
Reason being is because people just blindly walk out into traffic. Expecting vehicles to stop for them and thinking they have the right of way no matter what. Doesn't matter where you cross, but if you get hit, the motorist walks away if you cross illegally. Even in a crosswalk, if you don't have the signal saying to walk and you get hit, bye bye lawsuit, you ain't gettin a dime and the motorist walks way with you getting the ticket for jaywalking or improper use of signal.
I've been hit twice walking my bike across in calif
still like that in australia
@@Pantimoto well, give our best to your citizens.. Take care
The dislikes for this video are the drivers who actually got caught.
Agreed
You got my friend..
Ok, bootlicker 😂
Agreed
@@chrisrodriguez388 Yeah haha, stupid bootlickers. Everybody loves a pedestrian struck right?
This is some damn fine police work.
yes
fine, just fine.

I'm a former Bay Area resident now living out of state. It felt good watching this as I remember there were so many ignorant motorists (with attitudes) who just didn't care about pedestrians and the traffic rules. I lost count of how many times I came close to getting hit by vehicles when crossing the street in clearly marked crosswalks back in California.
Poor Ethel, she is really getting a workout today, she will sleep good tonight.
Nice, good job Calfironia Highway Patrol Contra Costa Office,
There are so many infractions but not enough units. 100’s of citations could be wrote in one day if there was enough manpower. Good work people.
Please take away the add on siren sound edited into the video- or at least let someone else hit the button who has a modicum of self control.
the fake siren sounds bug me
I almost got hit yesterday walking in the crosswalk with my 2 sons. The truck saw me but didn’t even stop until I stopped. He stopped like a foot away from me. His whole front end of his truck was halfway inside the crosswalk. I could feel the heat off his engine. Then when I made it through the crosswalk walk his passenger was laughing about it.
I suggest not using the crosswalk then. Cross at least 50 meters away from it. Painted crosswalks are actually one of the most dangerous places for pedestrians and the most dangerous way to cross a road by a landslide. It's like a nerf gun vs. M60 comparison. The problem is the use of only paint to keep pedestrians safe. What you're supposed to do is indicated, but nothing is done to ensure people actually stop. This is why you'll never see paint alone used in a civilized nation like the Netherlands. They will have choke points and speed tables on the crossing
Wow, Awsome job guys, but really did ya have to edit in the siren lol
Yup they did
Nice work CHP! need more videos like these 👍
Grateful to the CHP for doing this kind of enforcement! One of my pet peeves are the drivers (crash test dummies) who don't respect pedestrians.
Pedickstrians can suck it! They need to respect things that can kill them. Being a bum or a tree hugger does not make you special.
Shitty take. It's not the drivers not respecting pedestrians, it's the city. If they gave the slightest iota of a fuck about the safety of pedestrians, they wouldn't be relying on paint to protect them. They would add pinch points, a resting place and some sand barrel defenses. Except those cost money instead of making money off of risking the lives of people just trying to cross the road.
My also being a pedestrian, as well as a licensed driver, most of said stops were 100% legit in my eyes.
I could watch this all day awsome work officers & camera crew
Good job. Love the dog & the slicktop Polar Bear Charger was a treat!
Great work!!!! Now do this for speeders on freeways please.
Very low return. There are very few deaths per mile driven on freeway, most happen on smaller streets in low speed limits. Much better to catch the people doing 50 in a 30 than 85 in a 65.
I work at a school and I wish we got this kind of help for those who do this
The double play at 2:05 was solid.
Followed by a home run.
I really wish the local PD around here would do this kind of thing! There's not a week go by that you don't read about or hear about on the news about somebody getting struck in a crosswalk.
Thanks for the reminders!
Love this damn videos. Keep them up please.
You gotta love these guys. This is great!
Good job CHP! At first, I didn’t understand why the troopers were pulling everyone over for no reason, but then realized that it was a crosswalk enforcement :)
Cars always drive through crosswalks when I'm walking and have right of way, sometimes even aggressively cutting me off, and no cops in my area ever do shit, regardless of whether I'm in the city or suburb.
Same. There's even a couple of lit crosswalks near me that motorists blow through as well.
Fucking same. They don't give a shit once they are in their car. I ride a bike and I have to walk my shit across the crosswalk. Even if I jog I guess they can't wait. Or they never look towards the walk and go in front of you, nearly killing you in the process. If my bike hadn't saved me, I'd be long gone due to a prick in a vehicle who turned right on red as i was crossing
@@LadyStarFox i live in austria(not australia)and here the pedestrians in crosswalks without signal have the right of way like in the u.s, but here its the similar, not too much but there are cars who don't wait at the crosswalk when the pedestrians want to cross, even if they by law have to. i hope these idiots will get 1 time as a pedestrians hit by a car in a crosswalk.
One was kinda messed up the guy was already at the corner lol n still got pulled over when he wasn’t near him 😂
Crosswalk has to be fully clear
@@zackslay2938 What CVC states that?
@@Mr.President.2028 it's a law. They teach the law in all drivers ed and it's a common law that you should know when driving. Feel free to look it up yourself as I am not going to waste my time finding the exact code for you.
@@zackslay2938 The law only states that driver yields to the pedestrian at crosswalk. So basically, you are unable to back up your claim: "Crosswalk has to be fully clear." Nice!
@@Mr.President.2028 California Vehicle Code 21950 (A) : The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
good job.... more fines and than people will start to learn 👍🏾... practise makes perfect ..
To catch these people crossing 2 lanes ahead, cops throw on sirens to take crazy turns and speed even closer...
California laws must be crazy too if you can't go through the walk AFTER the pedestrian has crossed your lane
Kids dart across and back, people walk dogs that may be in front or behind them in the next lane or close you may not see, people could slip/trip and fall into another lane in front or behind them. While you may see one ped in the crosswalk, another may just be stepping off the curb entering the sidewalk you may not see. also its just too unsafe to have a car zip by at 50mph 5ft from you.
STATE LAW is once a pedestrian is in a cross walk, vehicles may not go through the cross walk until the pedestrian is out of the crosswalk (up the curb) on the other side. this is same in almost every state in the USA. One exception is if there is a pedestrian island in the middle, vehicles on the other side of the pedestrian Island may go through.
@@SKULLHOCKEY3 You should probably tell that to those police officers, as they break that law several times in this video. Getting run over by a cop is still getting run over.
@@lsamoa the persons crossing are officers. All the siren sounds and radio chatter are just sound effects added to the video for "dramatic effect". Notice how the siren sound is the same each time. It doesn't even match the video because the sound should be changing as they drive away from the cammera. If you watch again with out the sound on you will se they really arnt racing through the crosswalks.
@@SKULLHOCKEY3 If I turn the sound off I can see things better? Are you seriously saying this? lol
Doesn't change the fact that making a U-turn in the middle of the road, speeding close to other vehicles and cutting pedestrians crossing a street are all traffic infractions when regular people do it. Why? Because they're dangerous behavior. Just because it's cops doing it doesn't make it any less so.
@@lsamoa hey its my favorite keyboard warrior attempting battle in another thread arguing nonsense. Maybe someone here is also a keyboard warrior and you can finally have your epic battle that will be remembered for centuries to come?
Thanks for the video there's a definitely violations in Arlington Texas I guess my bicycle
We need this where I live New Berlin NY! Yesterday was I think my 8th close call in just the last 3 or 4 years! Had to slam my shillelagh on the hood of the car before it stopped, I had a bad knee at the time! There has got to be a better safer way!
This is enough to show the city a light is needed there.
That slicktop charger may give me reason enough to apply to CHP. What a good looking car.
The Polar Bear Chargers are rare to see!
In Norway where I live, this is not a thing.
The speed limits are lower, people in general don't speed. The traffic is calm and cars stop for street crossings.
There are exceptions, but they are very few. So when this happens, it is a big WTF.
And by looking on the traffic fatality statistics, you can see the emormous and tragic difference.
Great job CHP! I wish my State would have a sting!
Much more honest than how Alameda was doing it. They had a couple of cops parked on their bikes and a guy standing watching traffic in a shop window. As a car approached he'd turn and step straight out onto the crosswalk. No chance of stopping before he got onto the crosswalk. I have no sympathy for people who menace pedestrians, but deliberately entrapping them is not OK.
In some municipalities and States,you only have to stop if the pedestrian is on YOUR side of the crosswalk. California is VERY strict,I guess. Good to know if one is going to visit there.
Not strict enough
good job fellas....lets see if they can swing that operation in southern Calif...
Thank you so much to Police department of the city! Please continue it strongly! You are real Americans! The United States has the best traffic laws in the world! Seriously! I wish everything was like that in our country!but please the cops don't hide themselves never ever in the U.S. because it's against the law! Again thank you and thank you
It's the state CHP stands for California (Which is a state) Highway Patrol
Or just put stop signs or traffic lights right there. They definitely setting people up lol. But that’s Cali, I’m in Illinois and we have stop signs and pedestrians yield signs. But the yield signs also requires you to stop for pedestrians and it’s clearly put on the sign so there’s no confusion.
usually not a fan of this type stuff with speed traps, but i support this
Best CHP office and officers in all of California 😎
I Wish! I lived in California! Here in Ontario, there is no enforcement of Pedestrian safety.
This is why CHP is the best in California
That's a ticket we'll worth giving!!!
This is a perfect job for these officers since they can't do much else. CHP stands for "Can't Handle Policework."
Do more of these please
Ignorant people will never understand the importance of this kind of enforcement! Great job CHP!!!
Bravo! 😎👍
What was the violation for the truck at 1:49? He drove through the crosswalk when the pedestrian was leaving his half of the roadway, which is the federal guideline for crosswalk laws. In California the law is less explicit and says only that vehicles "shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway" and "shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian." But that pedestrian was two lanes away from the truck and was entering the other half of the roadway. I hope he fought that citation.
The fake sirens are annoying. It’s like they have sirens going even before the car moves
LOVE IT!
Sincere question here: When the pedestrian is 3 lanes away crossing the opposing lanes (Eastbound) of traffic and has not yet entered or has not yet appeared to be entering the Westbound lanes crosswalk isn’t it legal under CA state law to continue through a green light through the crosswalk area until the pedestrian has reached the median?
That road appears to have an established median, or does that exception only apply to a road with a raised median?
Several of those vehicles were stopped for driving through the crosswalk area while the pedestrian was still crossing the opposing lanes of traffic.
I'm not sure about the exact laws in California but I'm fairly sure that if the pedestrian is crossing and is in the opposite side of the road heading towards you, you must stop for them. But if the pedestrian has already walked past your lane and is over the median (1:50) then you are allowed to go
The law is that you must stop and wait if there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk, period. I think there needs to be much more enforcement of the law, but I do think the law is too strict. There should be exceptions for deviders and distances depending on which way the pedestrian is going.
@@tx91791 there are exceptions for roads that have medians. A turn lane does not count as a median.
Love this
Excelente job. A lot of drivers in california and they don't know the traffic Laws? Come on. Where do they get the license? In a Kellogg's box? Well done.
Thank you CHP
They must be having fun
I love the videos but to the editor: The stock siren sound that you keep inserting and overusing ruins the experience for me
Honestly I did not realize you had to stay stopped even after the person left your side of the road.
Depends where your at.. if there is a sold double yellow once they leave your side your set.
0:50 pretty sure u just broke the law you are trying to enforce. nice job great self awareness California
Ahaha more ticket money! Nice work CHP! Smart idea!
These cops moving devious lol
So you have to wait until the pedestrian is completely on the other side?
People don’t even stop at red lights anymore so not stopping for pedestrians doesn’t surprise me
We have some real crime fighters right there, get job guys. Street pirates.
Here’s my question must you stop/yield even after they have passed the section in which you have your car. Must you stay stopped until they are out of the crosswalk or just until they are passed and it is safe for you to finally drive past the crosswalk.
1:39 That cyclone V6 sounds sooo good
Love it
Good job
They dont put a crosswalk signal light there because that spot is the departments ATM there like we need new uniforms lets go hit up the crosswalk.
Bravissimi a Cagliari con il vostro impegno le patenti resterebbero sospese molto a lungo
Absolutely awesome job CHP thank you for all you do to keep everyone safe. IGY6 any day
When you are driving where are you supposed to come to a stop at when you come to a stop?
We need this in TAIWAN!!!!!!!!!
I loveit... Go Chippies
How does it count when the guy is already ahead of the vehicles as they're passing. (To where his back is facing the cars)
Crosswalk must be 100% clear before you're allowed to continue.
Buen trabajo Ami por casi me matan por un mendigo que no observo por ir en el cell
Thats good And next time any driver will stop when people cross on crosswalk
I hate speed traps on the hwy, but I do endorse this type of revenue generation in the city..
1:51 So even if the pedestrian has passed the lane I still have to stop? I didn't know that.
I like the spirit, but I would have assumed that the requirement to yield would mean you could go though if someone was at the other end of the crosswalk too. You should do enforcement for drivers who don't obey the 3 ft rule or otherwise harass bicyclists, too!
like fishing in a bucket!
They are better than the regular police CHP all the way
Should've put the culprits faces, along with their explanations as to WHY they didn't stop, in the video !
Bravo
god i love the CHP.
Less gooo
The irony here is that in most of the clips, the police are crossing the same crosswalk when they go after the offending vehicle. Seriously though, it's good that they do this. I wish they would start going after drivers who don't signal where I'm at.
Probly 10k on any easy day,that will buy alot of doughnuts.
.
What a beautiful video. Could hardly believe how many people flew right by. Thankful for all the men and women working to keep our communities safe!
Aluminum foil. They're driving!
I know exactly where that is and no people will not stop when walking in that crosswalk.
He'll ya good job CHPs...
Nice to see the police doing something about it I guess, but a better answer would be to not design terrible crosswalks that do nothing to protect their users. Slow the cars by using speed bumps and narrowing lanes, raise the crosswalk platform so that it is clear that the cars are entering territory intended for pedestrian use, and maybe even have a crosswalk signal installed that people can get ticketed for ignoring. All of that would be better than having a cop go and ticket people for ignoring a crosswalk that is easy to ignore.
I am in total agreement with the posted video but did not the CHP officer break the very law he/she was enforcing , at least twice?
Watch the video at the 45s mark. Lead by example
Just remember; approaching a crosswalk does not give a pedestrian the right of way. The pedestrian only has right away once they are IN the crosswalk. Don’t race out into a crosswalk in front of a car. It’s incumbent upon the pedestrian to stop and look both ways and wait for oncoming traffic to pass. Little jerk college students where I live have been educated by the local police in this matter.😅
needs more after effect siren noises
Failing to stop for pedestrians at the designated zebra crossing is a big problem in all countries..
0:41 Harley skids her rear tyre..
Well it's not really a problem in the Netherlands because they don't rely on just paint to keep pedestrians "safe"
