"COVID-19 appeared to affect traffic volume in 2020 with fewer drivers on the road, especially in the first 2/3 of the year," the report said. "Additionally, school closures in March significantly reduced school zone and bus related violations."
Police issued 61 tickets for speeding in a school zone, 192 fewer than in 2019; and 10 passing school bus with red lights activated citations, 53 fewer than in 2019.
