Keeping Our Community Safe and Informed – Speed Safety Awareness Month
Overview of Speed Safety Awareness Month
Speed Safety Awareness Month, established through SR 60 and authored by Susan Rubio in partnership with Streets Are for Everyone (SAFE), recognizes the urgent need to address the rise in traffic fatalities caused by speeding across California. The initiative encourages communities statewide to promote safer driving behaviors, support enforcement efforts, and protect all road users, especially children and families in school zones.
Safety Tips for Speed Safety Awareness Month
- Obey posted speed limits, particularly in school zones and residential neighborhoods.
- Slow down and remain alert for pedestrians, bicyclists, and children.
- Allow extra travel time to avoid the temptation to speed.
- Remember that higher speeds significantly increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

Traffic Enforcement
Traffic enforcement is guided by three (3) primary categories:
- Community-generated traffic complaints
- Officer-observed violations
- Analysis of traffic collision data
The Department maintains and regularly updates a comprehensive list of locations identified through traffic complaints and collision data to inform and prioritize enforcement efforts. As part of our traffic collision investigations, we also assess contributing factors that may have played a role in the incident. These factors may include distracted driving, roadway engineering, and environmental conditions.
