TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Police Department begins a three-month campaign on Tuesday to make three dangerous roads a whole lot safer.
Officers will be patrolling three roads where a large number of crashes occurred resulting in serious injuries or fatalities to pedestrians or bicyclists.
Those roads are:
- Fowler Avenue; from Florida Avenue to Bruce B. Downs Boulevard
- Busch Boulevard; from Armenia Avenue to Nebraska Avenue
- W. Hillsborough Avenue; from Hoover Boulevard to Himes Avenue
Police will focus on drivers who are speeding and pedestrians who are not following traffic laws.

Data will be analyzed during the three-month program to determine if the enforcement efforts are having a positive impact.
