REMINDER TO OUR COMMUNITY TO PLEASE BE MINDFUL:🚔🍦 KNOW THE LAW: TRISTAN'S LAW 🍦🚔
As summer arrives and ice cream trucks return to our neighborhoods, the Woodbridge Police Department reminds all motorists to be aware of Connecticut's "Tristan's Law," enacted to help protect children around ice cream trucks.
Named in memory of 10-year-old Tristan Barhorst of Wallingford, this law was created to improve safety and prevent tragedies involving children crossing the street to purchase ice cream.
⚠️ When approaching or overtaking an ice cream truck that is displaying flashing red lights and has its stop signal arm and front crossing arm extended, drivers MUST:
✅ Stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of the truck.
✅ Proceed only after stopping and only when safe to do so.
✅ Travel no faster than 5 MPH while passing.
✅ Yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing to or from the truck.
❗ Exception: Drivers are not required to stop if the ice cream truck is on the opposite side of a roadway separated by a physical barrier or safety island.
Children can be unpredictable and may suddenly enter the roadway. Slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution whenever you see an ice cream truck in your neighborhood.
Together, we can help keep our roads safe and ensure every child enjoys a safe summer.
