Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies handed out 25 traffic citations during a motorcycle safety enforcement operation in Santa Clarita on Saturday.
Here’s the story from the station’s social media:
“RESULTS: Deputies issue 25 traffic citations. On Saturday, July 14, we conducted a specialized Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operation in the City of Santa Clarita in an effort to lower deaths and injuries.
“Deputies looked for violations made by drivers and riders alike that can lead to motorcycle crashes.
“GOOD NEWS: For the most part, motorists and motorcyclists were driving appropriately. Thank you to the motorists we observed driving near motorcyclists who were giving them the right amount of space.
“BAD NEWS: Deputies did issue 25 citations during the operation. The majority of citations issued were for driving at an unsafe speed. One driver on Soledad Canyon Road that was pulled over was driving over 80 mph.
“Some of the other unsafe driving behaviors that were noted were one motorist cited for following a motorcyclist too closely, and another motorist cited for turning on a red-turn signal right in front of a motorcyclist.
“THANK YOU: Overall though, throughout the operation, courteous driving behavior was observed. We thank all for looking out for one another and helping keep our roads safe.”

Thanks SCV Sherrif’s. This style of enforcement beats the hell out of the failed Red Light Cameras and will actually keep us safer.
I am normally of the opinion that 90% of tickets are written for the purpose of revenue collection. This may be an example of the opposite. Having once been a motorcyclist myself, I realize that car drivers sometimes need to be reminded of the differences regarding visibility, stopping distances etc. between motorcycles and cars.
Thank you officers !!!! I live in saugus check out seco cyn and garzoto everybody drives so fast to beat the light on seco
True it’s dangerous
Maybe if SCV didn’t have ridiculous signal timing, people wouldn’t have to race to beat them. I know I do, and I don’t care how fast I go, I don’t want to spend 10-15 minutes at a traffic signal. SCV is the WORST planned city I have ever seen as far as traffic and road planning go.
Kurt You should have seen it 20 years ago when it was the worst.
Kurt Buck yep same trip can either be 5 or 15 minutes depending on the lights.
They should park at the corner Methodist church on Espuella and Bouquet Cyn. Poor Seniors can’t even cross the street without fear of being run down!! People have some respect!! ?
People need to slow down there was a teenager killed a few years ago cause someone ran the red light my dad lost his life for the same reason
Haskell Canyon Road please!
