    The Osceola County Sheriff's Office has been awarded a contract for High Visibility Enforcement from the University of North Florida, the agency reported Saturday.

    The contract is in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a Bicycle Pedestrian High Visibility Enforcement Initiative along U.S. Highway 192.

    The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has identified high incident locations throughout the county for pedestrian and bicycle traffic-related incidents. From October through January, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office will be conducting enforcement operations at the two identified Tier 1 locations on U.S. 192:

    • Seven Dwarfs Lane to Four Winds Boulevard, just east of the Vineland Road Intersection;
    • The area of Poinciana Boulevard.

    The operations will promote traffic safety to vehicle drivers, bicycle riders, and pedestrians and inform them of the applicable laws through education and enforcement.
