Traffic Safety Awareness Week
August 24-30
 The Property Owners Association of Arundel on the Bay is planning a Traffic Safety Awareness Week during the week of August 24 to focus attention on the need to "slow down" and adhere to the 25 mph speed limit when driving in the Community.
In an active Community where children play and residents walk and run (many with their pets), it is critical that drivers take their time and make safety a top priority.
Concern over the speed that many drivers employ when entering and exiting the Community gave rise to the creation of a Traffic Safety Committee which has been looking into options for heightening awareness about the need to SLOW DOWN.
The week will include the following
- Temporary placement by the County Traffic Safety Office of a speed detection sign that will display your speed
- Stepped up speed limit enforcement by the County Police Department
- Placement of additional signs intended to urge drivers to go slow.
Last month the County added three 25 mph speed limit signs on Cohasset Avenue, bringing the total number of signs on Cohasset to six.
Please keep the following thoughts in mind as you drive through this wonderful Community we all call home:
- Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer;
- Slow down! Your family will be waiting for you;
- Stop accidents before they stop you;
- Drive as if every child on the street were you own.
We're counting on your cooperation, not just for one week in August, but every day. Remember that your driving affects more than just you.
