SLOW STREET LAWN SIGNS TO HELP MAKE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFER
It’s time for a reminder – we love our neighborhood.
Let’s Slow Down.
Why this matters
Speed is the single most important factor in determining the outcome of a collision.
People sense this danger to themselves and their children. If cars pass by the house moving too fast – parents won’t let their kids play outside, and people of all ages are discouraged from walking or biking.
Help make your neighborhood safer and support better bikeways and walkable cities in Redding and Shasta County. You can order a sign of your choice here: shasta-living-streets.square.site
