SF Police giving out citations to those who don't stop for the chicken crossing the road. [View all]
Link to tweet
NEW: The San Francisco Police Department is dressing up as inflatable chickens to catch speeding drivers going through crosswalks.
The officers are giving out citations to those who don't stop for the chicken crossing the road.
The gig is paying off as the department has given out about 40 citations with some fines costing upwards of $400.
"If you don’t see someone in a giant chicken costume, then we really have a problem," said police Lt. Jonathan Ozol to the SFGate.
"It’s having an impact. Drivers seem more aware, more cognizant. Certainly when they see the chicken."
