OBPD has designated a Special Event Zone in anticipation of an unsanctioned/pop-up event on the beachside area, which is expected to disrupt traffic flow. This designation is made under Sections 316.1891 and 316.008 of the Florida Statutes.

We’re seeing an increase in children operating high-powered electric bikes on roadways. Some of these bikes reach 𝟰𝟬–𝟳𝟬+ 𝗺𝗽𝗵, creating serious risks for riders, drivers, and pedestrians. Before riding, make sure the vehicle is legal for roadway use and operated safely.

And just like that, another successful Bike Week in the books. The stats are in! Bike Week brought a lot of visitors and activity through Ormond Beach, and our officers worked hard to keep everyone safe on the roads. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a safe Bike Week!
