The California Highway Patrol has stepped up traffic enforcement in Shandon in response to multiple complaints.

Residents have reported drivers who appear to be ignoring a four-way stop sign at Center and 1st streets, near Shandon schools. The CHP responded by increasing patrols.

In just a couple of days, officers issued a handful of citations for stop sign and cell phone violations.

“Be aware and be safe,” the CHP said on Facebook. “Please, come to a complete stop and do not drive distracted. Our goal is that everyone makes it safely to their destination.”
