Woodburn OR- The Woodburn Police Department (WPD) will conduct traffic safety enforcement during the beginning of the school year, starting Monday, August 26 through Friday, September 6, 2024. This will take place throughout all Woodburn School Zones.
Officers will be focusing on enforcing speed, seatbelt usage, unlawful use of mobile devices while driving and any other unsafe driving violations. The goal of traffic safety enforcement is to keep students, school staff and community members safe during this school season. WPD wants to remind everyone that most school zones in Woodburn have reduced school speed zone laws of 20 miles per hour between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on all school days, and that traffic violations in these zones face enhanced fine amounts. The Woodburn Police Department encourages all motorists to drive safely and to plan on extra time if their commutes will involve traveling to or through school safety zones.
