Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.
Note: Traffic Safety Tip of the Week: Rolling past stop signs is dangerous. Many motorists have gotten into the bad habit of not consciously being sure their vehicle has come to a complete stop at posted stop signs. This habit often places the nose of your vehicle in an intersection in the path of on-coming traffic or a crosswalk impeding pedestrians. Remember to stop before the sign or pavement marking.

Note: Traffic Safety Tip of the Week: One of the most frequent citizen complaints concerns motorists running red lights. Running a red light is also one of the most common causes of traffic crashes. In response, the Florida legislature increased fines and made it a 4 point violation as a means to encourage drivers to use good sense and stop at red lights.
