Due to the large number of traffic infractions cited and observed by Cornell Police during National Stop on Red Week at the beginning of September, Cornell Police is extending this "zero tolerance" effort at least through Sept. 30.
A zero-tolerance policy has been maintained by Cornell Police for such infractions as going through red lights, running stop signs and failing to yield the right of way to pedestrians at cross walks.
The program's extra traffic patrols, funded through a grant from the New York State Governor's Traffic Safety Committee, along with regular shift patrols on campus during this period, have resulted in 158 traffic citations for various violations of vehicle and traffic law, three DWI arrests and six arrests for aggravated unlicensed operation.
