Santa Rosa motorcycle police officers this coming week will monitor one of the city’s most dangerous intersections — Santa Rosa Avenue at Hearn Avenue, which last year was tied for second with 13 collisions.
Last week, just a block away, police were keeping an eye out for violators across Highway 101 at Hearn and Corby Avenue, also tied for No. 2.
As part of a weekly, Monday through Sunday, special enforcement program, Officer Jeff Adams says officers particularly will be looking for drivers not wearing seat belts, who are illegally using cellphones, are speeding, running red lights or committing lane violations.
Each week, the officers pick one of the city’s top 25 collision-prone intersections to monitor.

Well, the busiest area of Santa Rosa is why. Costco, best Buy, Target, etc.. Corby and Hern at Santa Rosa Ave both. Comming off Corby to Costco with the lane changes to the Costco parking lot is a really big bottle neck problem on a busy day. That is why I like the Hern direction and come in off Kawana Springs avoiding the mess.

Are they going to ticket drivers for not using their turn signals? No one uses them anymore, drivers act as if they don’t need to use them and expect the driver behind or in front of them to know when they are turning left or right, it’s a guessing game.
