Question

Slow Down for Kids
1. Kids should be able to skateboard and ride their bikes in our neighborhoods without fear of speeding cars. Unfortunately, if your street is like mine, a few times a day, some car roars through at 30 or even 40 miles an hour. The driver is probably trying to avoid traffic on the busy streets or take a shortcut. Whatever the reason, drivers often forget or don't care about the fact that the speed limit in neighborhoods is 20 or 25 in our city, while it's 30 or 35 on the main streets.
2. Studies show that someone hit by a car at 20 miles per hour has a 95% chance of surviving. However, someone struck at 30 MPH has only a 60% chance. This is why it is so important that drivers slow down while driving through neighborhoods.
3. If you are ever in a car with someone who is driving above the speed limit in a neighborhood, please remind them to slow down. Our children's lives depend on it!
