Recently, a woman in an intersection was struck by a hit and run driver. This happened in a smaller city than our city but was seen on national TV. As the pace and traffic increase around spring break, please increase your level of awareness to what's around you.
Safety is very important on our streets and highways.
DO NOT DOUBLE PARK...if you need to stop pull into a driveway,
bus stop, or a fire hydrant and STAY IN YOUR CAR.
Obstructing traffic makes it difficult to see children crossing,
vehicles pulling out, etc.
Red lights=STOP
Stop signs=STOP
flashing yellow lights=PROCEED WITH CAUTION
STOP FOR ALL SCHOOL BUSES loading or unloading passengers.
This is NYS law.
In NYC, we see more and more security cameras being put in
place especially in Manhattan. The Traffic Dept. has been
using cameras at red lights for several years and, frankly,
it's safer if everyone assumes all red lights have cameras.
We have to slow down, put pedestrian safety first, let
the flow of traffic not be impeded and THINK while we are
driving.
It will save lives and money, make us more responsible citizens
and contribute to the higher good of all.

SLOW DOWN, KEEP YOUR MIND ON DRIVING, DON'T BE AGRESSIVE
BEHIND THE WHEEL, DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE, BE RESPONSIBLE,
PARTICIPATE IN A SAFER COMMUNITY.
It's easy to get distracted...we lead busy lives, our radios
are too loud, we have cell phones, text messages, etc.
However, once you get behind the wheel, you are in control
of a "deadly weapon" so to speak. It is your responsibility
to protect pedestrians the way you want your own family protected
when using the streets of our city.
If your cell phone rings............PULL OVER if you want to talk!
If you receive a text....PULL OVER if you want to read it!
PLEASE...Use common sense.
A more educated and aware community is good for everyone...
so is a more respectful community.
DO YOUR PART TO MAKE LIVING & DRIVING
IN NYC SAFER.
thanks!
