THE CHIEF'S CORNER May, 2020

PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

Hello wonderful citizens of this great city! The vast majority of 
Californians statewide have shown that during the pandemic they 
are willing to do the right thing to protect one another. And that 
is a good thing. Likewise, we must maintain that same sense of 
urgency when it comes to driving. 

 Because of the Pandemic, vehicle traffic averages on highways 
has decreased to numbers not seen in decades. Sadly, some drivers 
have mistaken this light traffic to mean German Autobahn rules 
for driving are acceptable. Our partners at CHP recently reported 
an 87% increase in speeding tickets for violators traveling 100 
miles an hour or more.

 You can imagine the danger that traveling at that rate of speed can create. Take a look at 
the damage done in this near fatality a few years ago right here in Sierra Madre.

 The faster you drive the more chances there are of something bad happening. High speeds 
increase a vehicle’s breaking distances, and significantly decrease a driver’s time to react to 
danger or objects in the roadway. While Covid-19 is clearly our national priority, our traffic 
safety laws cannot be ignored. If you must drive please buckle up, follow posted speed laws 
and lookout for bicyclists and pedestrians, whose numbers have increased substantially during 
the pandemic.

 Until next time, keeping our community safe through partnerships and dedication.

Editors Note: National Police Officers Week is May 10-16, 2020. It's not too late to thank a police officer 
for the great job they're doing.
