While the race to the official start of summer is speeding up, Cranberry Township officials want to make sure vehicle speeds stay low to keep residential neighborhoods safe.

The annual Slow Down Campaign is inspired by the national “Keep Kids Alive Drive 25” program. It is designed to make streets safer for all who walk, cycle, play, drive and ride. This is done by educating and actively engaging citizens in a common commitment to create safer streets for the benefit of all.

Radar speed signs and hundreds of yard signs will be placed throughout various neighborhoods, as well as an increased police presence from the Cranberry Township Police Department. This year’s summer campaign is set for June 7 to 21, coinciding with the end of the Seneca Valley School District academic year.

The radar signs are moved every day to different neighborhoods, and the data gathered is used as the basis for making changes to the program or stepping up awareness of the initiative.

There is still time to sign up for the Summer Campaign, and the Fall Campaign is scheduled for Aug. 22 to Sept. 5.
