Eyes on the road

Traffic likely will peak this week and next, with local public schools on holiday, as well as breaks for many colleges and universities.

Island law enforcement officials remind motorists to keep their eyes on the road and to be alert for bicyclists and pedestrians, especially near crosswalks.

The Click It or Ticket campaign promoting seatbelt use is in full swing for spring break.

And, unique to the island, a park-andride campaign encourages people to leave vehicles in park and take the island trolley or alternative transportation.

Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Transportation issued the following notice:

• SR 789/Gulf Drive just south of 26th Street: Crews are installing water service. Expect nighttime/overnight intermittent lane closures from 9 p.m.-5:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 29.
