BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Jaywalking on the Western campus could cost you 68 bucks.

Western Campus police set up jay walk enforcement Thursday afternoon at the Bill McDonald Parkway and College Way intersection near the Wade King Rec Center.

A sign posted at the location said entering a cross walk when the red handed walk signal is flashing is illegal and unsafe.

Officers said the goal was not to fine people, but to raise public awareness of the dangers of crossing against the signal.
