As Volusia and Flagler counties prepare to welcome Bike Week 2020 visitors and activities, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind everyone on the roadways to practice safe driving and common sense during the 10-day event, which begins on Friday, March 6.
Every year, people from across the country make their way to Volusia and Flagler Counties to celebrate Bike Week and participate in the fun. However, an influx of visitors can also mean more opportunity for criminal behavior and traffic accidents.
FCSO will be out in full force countywide to protect the community, watch for impaired drivers, manage traffic and target criminal activity, including motorcycle and vehicle theft.
As Flagler County roads become congested with Bike Week enthusiasts from all over the country, motorists and pedestrians are encouraged to be extra careful to prevent accidents and tragedies.
Our deputies are watching for traffic violators but we remind everyone to do your part to help — whether you are driving, walking or riding a motorcycle or bicycle.
“We want to make sure that everyone can enjoy Bike Week safely,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We will have zero tolerance for drinking and driving and aggressive driving. Our deputies will be out actively patrolling but we ask that everyone drive safely. Be vigilant and drive free from distractions to avoid any dangerous conditions. Remember to always look twice and if you see something suspicious, report it to FCSO.”
Do your part: If you see something, say something. Report suspicious activity or aggressive driving to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office by calling our non-emergency line: 386-313-4911. Call 911 in the event of an emergency.
