In an ongoing effort to reduce serious injury/fatal traffic collisions, the Wildomar Traffic Team conducted an enforcement operation on February 19, 2020 from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The focus of the enforcement was on collision-causing factors at various areas within the City of Wildomar.  Special patrols were deployed to crack down on drivers who violate traffic laws meant to protect all roadway users.
