Roseville police will conduct three traffic enforcement operations this week, including a "zero tolerance" effort against speeders on Wednesday.
The no-tolerance operation will run from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Cirby Way near Riverside Avenue, said police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther, who noted that a number of motorists have not been slowing down in that vicinity, despite construction on a road-widening project.
"This creates real hazards for construction workers, as well as other motorists," she said.
On Friday, police will begin conducting a sobriety and driver's license checkpoint at an undisclosed location that has a history of traffic collisions and arrests related to drunken driving, Gunther said.
The operation will begin about 9 p.m. and conclude at 1 or 2 a.m. Saturday, she said.
On Saturday, officers will be on the lookout for street racers, Gunther said. The operation begins at 8 p.m. and will end at about 2 a.m. Sunday. In addition, police will issue citations to anyone who has illegally modified a vehicle for street racing, she said.
"Anyone caught street racing or assisting with a street race may be arrested, and their vehicles may be impounded for 30 days," Gunther said.
Each of the traffic enforcement operations is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, she said.

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted.

You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it.

Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
