Chandler steps up pedestrian safety patrols

Chandler police put extra officers on patrol Monday for a citywide education and enforcement effort on traffic safety. The team of officers focused on laws related to pedestrians and bicyclists. They were looking to ensure people were not jaywalking and cyclists were obeying the rules of the road. They also looked for driver violations that could lead to crashes including texting while driving and failing to yield to someone in a crosswalk.
