During the event, Wello has partnered with local law enforcement agencies that will be stationed at multiple locations in Allouez, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, Denmark, De Pere, Hobart, Howard, Green Bay, Pulaski, Suamico, and the UW-Green Bay campus.
Officials say that vehicles will be stopped for failing to follow the law of yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk, which can result in warnings or tickets at the officer’s discretion.
The first two Frogger events of the year, held June 27 and August 22, resulted in a combined 199 warnings issued and 1,472 vehicles correctly yielding to pedestrians for an 88% compliance rate.
