The Madison Police Department’s North District is committed to reducing hazardous driving behavior throughout the district with a focus on speeding. Year in and year out traffic complaints are a common theme. This summer from June 1 to Sept. 1, the North District will participate in a department-wide, data-driven, proactive traffic enforcement model.

With a need for effective community partnership, I am requesting the following of community members:

●  Obey posted speed limits.

● on’t drive distracted.

● onsider posting signage on your residential lawns. “Slow down” signs can be acquired at the North District. 2033 Londonderry Dr.

● eport areas of hazardous driving behavior and traffic safety concerns.

What can you expect from the North District?

● fficers directed to provide proactive enforcement of hazardous driving behaviors.

●  District wide distribution of community member traffic concerns.

●  Increased traffic enforcement on the E. Washington Ave. corridor.

●  Continued traffic enforcement operations by the Traffic Enforcement Safety Team.

● ollaboration with other city partners.
