Hamilton Police are cracking down on pedestrians that don't look when they cross the street in the core.
The crackdown starts today today and continues through to March 1st.
For the first week, an education and warning component will take place.
Then, for the next three weeks, a zero tolerance policy will be implemented.
Officers will be educating pedestrians about obeying traffic signals at crosswalks.
In 2009, there were 28 collisions in the core area that resulted in injuries to pedestrians.
The fine for non-complaiance is 45 dollars.
