Pedestrain Safety Operation

The Lincoln City Police Department will be conducting a Pedestrian Safety Operation on Monday, July 13th, 2026 in the area of the South 900 block of Highway 101, in the vicinity of McKay’s Market and the City Hall building. With the use of a decoy pedestrian, the Lincoln City Police Department hopes to raise awareness of drivers and pedestrians through education and enforcement of pedestrian right-of-way laws. The operation will be conducted between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00PM. Warning signs will be posted prior to entering the pedestrian safety operation zone.

The members of the Lincoln City Police Department are dedicated to enhancing the safety of our citizens and guests of the city, and these safety operations are conducted in an effort to reduce the potential for injuries or death to pedestrians. Under Oregon law, all crosswalks, marked or unmarked, are considered crosswalks for pedestrian use unless indicated otherwise. Drivers should be alert for pedestrians signaling to cross. Funding for the pedestrian safety operations are made possible through a grant provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact.
