Crosswalk Enforcement
The Hopkinton Police Department has identified a high level of concern for pedestrian safety in and around crosswalks within the downtown area.  We share this concern and in response will be conducting Crosswalk Compliance checks.  The goal of these compliance checks is to improve pedestrian safety by increasing motorist’s adherence to the pedestrian crosswalk laws.  To learn more about these laws please reference Mass. General Law Chapter 89 section 11.

Traffic Enforcement
Traffic Safety continues to be a high priority.  The Hopkinton Police Department takes several approaches in this effort.  The two most visible methods are enforcement and education.  In support of the enforcement component the department participates in the Click-it or Ticket and You drink You Drive You Lose Campaigns.  The Governors Highway Safety Bureau Funds these mobilizations through funding passed down from Federal Grants.  These funds are used to put additional officers on the street to target aggressive and impaired drivers.
