LPD “O” Street Traffic Enforcement Project Begins May 24

Published on May 22, 2024

The Lincoln Police Department (LPD) today announced a traffic safety project focused on “O” Street will run from Friday, May 24 through August 31. The annual traffic enforcement effort will take place on nights and weekends between 17th and 98th Streets.

The project is in response to numerous reports and complaints of reckless driving, loud vehicles and deadly crashes on “O” Street. Officers will be on patrol overtime to provide increased enforcement. The enforcement effort is funded by a grant awarded by the Nebraska Department of Transportation-Highway Safety Office.

In 2023, the project resulted in 662 traffic citations and 372 written warnings. The results do not include citations written by on-duty personnel who combat poor driving behavior on “O” Street throughout the year.

LPD is dedicated to making our roads safer for our community and urges residents to follow speed limits and be considerate of others who share the road with you.
