WATFORD CITY (KXNET) — Starting Sunday, several strangers will be standing near roadways around Watford City, looking at cars and jotting things down. But the Watford City Police are reassuring residents not to worry.

It’s a seat belt use survey, commissioned by the North Dakota Department of Transportation.

From June 4 – 10, surveyors will be watching traffic at different locations in the city and making observations on the rate of seat belt use.
