Wouldn’t it be great if all drivers actually drove at the posted speed limits? 

Impossible, you might say, but now there is a program to help slow down speeding traffic.  The Pace Car program is looking for people who want to help make traffic (especially in neighborhoods) flow at the proper speeds.  You can help by becoming a leader who sets an example of the proper way to drive through neighborhood streets.  Take the driver pledge and receive a Pace Car sticker for your car. 

You will become a positive force by agreeing to be a responsible driver who respects pedestrians, bicyclists, school zones, speed limits, and other safety traffic laws.  If enough drivers in a neighborhood become “pace cars” the culture of safe and courteous driving will develop.  This is part of a public education campaign designed to remind drivers that many others who are not in cars also share the streets.  It will increase community safety and make our streets friendlier and more enjoyable. 

To learn more about the program or to sign up to take the pledge and receive the sticker, go to http://www.waba.org/pacecar/.
