This was something we discussed at the council meeting last night. Two residents mentioned concerns about some areas in the community that we are seeing consistent speeding in areas where children are present. Please be mindful of speeds, and your surroundings in neighborhoods. Lets keep everyone safe!
🚔 SLOW DOWN, CENTERTON 🚔
As summer break is in full swing, more children are outside riding bikes, playing with friends, walking to parks, and enjoying their neighborhoods.
The Centerton Police Department has received numerous complaints regarding speeding in residential areas and will be increasing patrols and traffic enforcement throughout the city.
Please remember:
* 🚨 The standard speed limit in residential neighborhoods is 20 MPH unless otherwise posted. 🚨
* Increased patrols and traffic enforcement will be taking place throughout the city.
* Those few extra seconds you save are not worth risking the life of a child, pedestrian, or neighbor.
⚠️ Child Safety Reminder ⚠️
* Children may unexpectedly enter the roadway.
* Stay alert in neighborhoods, near parks, and in areas where families are active.
* Slow down and watch carefully for pedestrians, cyclists, and children at play.
Our goal is not to write tickets—our goal is to keep our community safe.
We ask all drivers to:
* Slow down.
* Stay alert.
* Watch for children and other pedestrians.
Let’s work together to make this a safe and enjoyable summer for everyone.
