Vehicle Safety Announcement


Lock Your Car
 Prevent your car from being broken into. Thefts from cars are most often crimes of opportunity in which a thief sees an easy target. Most vehicles have simple items, such as change, taken from them but the common denominator for most is that the vehicles were left UNLOCKED. Door handles are tried and if the car is locked they usually move on.
Reduce the chances that a criminal will want to break into your vehicle by locking your doors and removing valuables from the vehicle and out of sight. 
   

Bicycle Safety


Ride your bicycle with the flow of Traffic, Not against it!  Obey all of the same traffic laws as a motor vehicle!
When ridden on any roadway a bicycle rider has all of the rights and responsibilities of any vehicle. Unless bicycles are specifically excepted, all traffic laws and rules apply to bicycles. Bicyclists who violate traffic laws are subject to a citation.
