Citations to D.C.’s jaywalkers, cyclists drop

Published August 21, 2011 4:00am ET



At least one pedestrian in D.C. is given a ticket for jaywalking just about every day. And bicyclists get them just about every other day for a range of traffic violations, including not riding on the seat of the bike.

But police are slowing the pace of the citations at the same time the city is pushing to make the streets more bikeable and walkable with new bike lanes, new technology for crosswalks, and the expansion of the Capital Bikeshare system.
