Cranberry Begins Motorist Slowdown Campaign

As a new school year dawns, the township will emphasize the importance of drivers slowing down and being on the lookout for students.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — As kids return to the classroom this week, drivers around the township will have plenty of reminders to slow down and keep an eye out for them.

The township police department will be out in full force and hundreds of radar speed signs will be placed through various neighborhoods. The slow down campaign will run Aug. 25-Sept. 8 and coincides with the beginning of classes in the Seneca Valley School District.

The signs will be moved every day to different neighborhoods. Data gathered will be used as the basis for making changes to the program .
