Click It Or Ticket campaign near Solon Recreation Center
The Three E’s of Traffic Safety
- Public Education
- Law Enforcement
- Traffic Engineering
Road sense is the offspring of courtesy and the parent of safety. On the eve of Memorial Day, officers of Solon Police Department were observed handing out educational materials related to NHTSA funded Click It or Ticket campaign at the three way stop intersection near Solon Recreation Center. Officers were approaching passing motorists ahead of stop signs and reminding them that law enforcement officers will be out enforcing the seat belt laws during the long weekend. It was emphasized in the flier that wearing a seat belt cuts the chances of death or serious injury in half in a traffic crash. This is an intersection where visibility is excellent and its not uncommon to see motorists failing to come to a complete stop at the stop signs; traffic enforcement is occasionally done by Solon Police Department here.
In 2007, there were over 600 fatalities in Ohio in which the driver or passengers were not wearing their seat belt.

Traffic engineering is a growing field and is vital for maintaining road safety.
