North Bend police stopped 13 vehicles during their second pedestrian crosswalk sting of the year Tuesday at the corner of Virginia Avenue and Marion Street, but it seems the safety message might be sinking in.

There were fewer stops than previous crosswalk enforcement exercises, said police Chief Steve Scibelli.

Officers cited six drivers who failed to stop and remain stopped for pedestrians. Police also issued warnings to nine drivers, including two of those who received citations. The citations went to five men and one woman, with ages of 29, 32, 49, 76, 77 and 83.

Oregon laws require drivers to stop for pedestrians crossing at any intersection, whether a crosswalk is marked or not. Drivers can only proceed once a pedestrian has reached the sidewalk or passed the driver's lane as well as an adjacent one. Motorists who violate the law can be charged with a $242 fine.
