Ocean City Police Department
The Ocean City Police Department is conducting a zero tolerance traffic safety awareness campaign now through the 2015-2016 holiday season. This campaign is designed to increase traffic safety awareness through directed enforcement efforts.
Beginning the week of Nov. 23, the department will begin this effort by selecting an area of focus for each particular week. By designating a particular issue each week, it is our hope that the local press and community members will become more aware of all traffic laws and choose to participate by compliance, making Ocean City safer.
The following is a list of violations that will be strictly enforced with zero tolerance during this period: Speeding, Wearing a Seatbelt, Following Too Close, Use of Cell Phones while Driving, Careless Driving Equipment/Maintenance of Lamps, Inspection Stickers.
