Sunshine Coast district acting Inspector Shane Panoho said on Thursday the sting was set up to reinforce the damaging effects of drink and drug driving.
“This shows that anywhere, anytime, you can expect to see police on our roads,” Insp Panoho said.
“We can pop up near industrial locations, residential or major arterials.
“We are tired of having to go to serious road crashes, where people’s loved ones are being harmed, injured or killed.”
A CONCERNED grandmother believes it is only a matter of time before a child will be seriously injured while jaywalking near Brassall State School.
Michelle Parratt of North Ipswich said she witnessed countless adults escort schoolchildren through peak-hour traffic across Pine Mountain Rd – metres from a designated crossing.
Fencing was installed at the road in recent years to help alleviate the issue after parents called for improvements to the road.
Ms Parratt’s frustrations even prompted a post to social media last week, pleading with residents to think twice about jaywalking.
She said it ”made her sick” to see parents and caregivers not use designated crossings and encourage poor road safety behaviours in younger generations.
