laws. The Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit and District Patrol Deputies enforce our traffic
laws each day by issuing citations and warnings. Preliminary results from their
cumulative activity yesterday are as follows:

Citizens can help by letting us know if they observe problem areas, aggressive or
impaired drivers and by their compliance with the rules of the road. To get in touch

driver while you are traveling in your motor vehicle in Lee County, dial 9-1-1.

Everyone is reminded to "Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and
pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and
property damage."
Note: Highway construction/work zones require motorists to reduce their speed and maintain their lanes. Speed violators receive citations for double the usual fine. Watch your speed, keep a safe distance from the car in front and stay in your lane to prevent a crash or cause injury to a worker.
