St. Petersburg city police were on campus on Fri., Sept. 23, to pass out informational flyers to people violating pedestrian regulations.
City police monitored the crosswalk at Sixth Avenue S. and Second Street.
Motorists received tickets for violating traffic rules, like failing to stop at the crosswalk stop signs. Pedestrians who jaywalked and did not use the crosswalks were not ticketed, but received the warning flyers.
Lt. Reginald Oliver of University Police Services said they had received complaints from students and faculty about people on campus not crossing at the intersections.
Oliver said the purpose was to educate people about traffic and pedestrian regulations. City police will then begin to enforce the regulations and issue tickets instead of warnings.
