Drivers who roll through stop signs aren’t going to be tolerated in the Town of Vienna.
Starting today (Wednesday), the Vienna Police Department has launched a new traffic safety campaign with a particular focus on stop sign violations, citing “a noticeable increase” in people failing to come to a complete halt at intersections.
From the news release:

Under certain circumstances, a police officer may cite a stop sign violation as reckless driving.
