Traffic Safety
Pace Car Program
The Pace Car Program is a cooperative City/Neighborhood-based initiative to reduce speeding on our residential streets. The need for this is clear; speeding is the single greatest traffic complaint received by Traffic Engineering and Police Department for neighborhoods. Many of the violators are driving within their own neighborhoods. The Pace Car Program addresses the issue by encouraging neighborhood residents to take responsibility for the impact their cars have on the roads they use. In addition, this innovative program promotes increased driver awareness of activities in the neighborhood.
The Pace Car Program encourages motorists to drive the legal speed limit in their neighborhood and also positively change motorist behavior throughout our community.
Program Goals
- Reduce speeding on streets throughout our community
- Raise awareness of how individual motorist's behavior impacts the quality of life in their neighborhood and our community
- Encourage residents to leave early and allow enough travel time to get to their destination, thereby reducing the temptation to speed
- Promote courteous driving habits
- Raise awareness that motorists share the road with bicyclists and pedestrians
