Slow Down and Stay Safe
With warmer weather comes an increase in road construction, pedestrians, and cyclists throughout our community. These changes make it more important than ever to stay focused and practice safe driving habits.
When travelling through construction zones, always reduce your speed, follow posted signs, and remain aware of workers on the road. Staying patient and cautious helps protect those making essential improvements to our infrastructure.
By driving safely and staying alert, we can create a safer environment for everyone on our roads.
