Attention JBSA-Lackland Commuters
During morning traffic hours, illegal right turns from the middle lanes on Military Drive onto Selfridge Avenue are causing extensive back-ups, blocking intersections, and preventing city and emergency vehicles from passing. This dangerous behavior has led to 12 vehicle collisions in the past year. In response, the 802nd Security Forces Squadron will increase traffic enforcement and close outbound lanes at Selfridge West Gate during morning traffic. JBSA SF personnel will monitor traffic, record violators' information, and direct offenders to the back of the entry queue. Repeat offenders will face 30-day driving privilege revocations for the second offense and 60 days for the third. SF will continue to monitor compliance and may conduct future unannounced enforcement actions based on driver behavior. Stay safe and follow traffic laws.
