One of the biggest concerns on the roadways in Lafayette, Louisiana, is people driving through red lights, and now the Lafayette Police Department is addressing this danger.

How many times have you seen someone in Lafayette ignore a red light and drive through the intersection with any regard? If you're like me, you've seen it way too many times.

Now, the Lafayette Police Dept. is addressing this danger in the city as they've announced they are kicking off their 30-day Red Light Awareness campaign. which starts on March 11, 2025. 

According to the press release we received from LPD, " This initiative aims to significantly improve road safety and reduce traffic accidents caused by red light violations across the city."

The mission of this campaign is to make the roads in Lafayeytte safer; thus, you will see an increase in police presence at some major intersections and where red light violations are most common.

LPD goes on to say in their press release, "The LPD urges all drivers to prioritize safety and come to a complete stop at red lights. By working together, we can make Lafayette’s roads safer for everyone."
