Police: Traffic initiative yields 100 stops

Six state troopers lined Route 50 westbound on Sunday as part of a traffic initiative, yielding 100 stops.

Police from the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack were stationed on Route 50 at Hobbs Road from 9:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Sunday.

They were conducting a traffic initiative, particularly aimed at those who violated cell phone and tint laws.

According to police, no arrests were made; however, the effort led to 100 traffic stops, 16 citations, 39 warnings, and 55 safety equipment repair orders.
