The Harmony Township Police Department will participate in seat-belt enforcement activities as part of a statewide seat-belt enforcement mobilization.
advertisement The seat belt enforcement activities will be conducted from Monday, Oct. 20 through Friday, Oct. 24 as part of at the Ambridge Area High School and other roadways in Harmony Township.
The enforcement, coupled with educational outreach efforts, aims to connect teens to seat-belt use by raising awareness of the state’s primary law, which states that all vehicle occupants under 18 years old must wear a seat belt.
Drivers and front-seat passengers over 18 years old who are cited for another traffic violation will receive a second ticket if they are not buckled.
Traffic crashes continue to remain the leading cause of death for Pennsylvania’s young people and two-thirds of those killed each year still remain unbuckled, according to the Pennsylvania Traffic Safety Enforcement Resource Center.
The weeklong mobilization effort coincides with National Teen Driver Safety Week.
