Bicycle and Pedestrian SafetyIn recent months, the Camarillo Police Department has noticed a significant increase of traffic collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians. With school returning this week, the Camarillo Police Department needs the public’s help to reduce the number of collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians and keep our kids safe on their way to and from school.
