The enforcement effort, which ran from noon to 10 p.m., resulted in 90 citations for drivers violating the California Vehicle Code, the police department said in a statement.
Infractions included unsafe turning movements, speeding, running red lights, and using handheld cellphones while driving. One driver was arrested for DUI.
