Cranberry Vehicle Slowdown Campaign To Begin

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — With kids on summer vacation soon to be playing outside more often, township officials want to make sure vehicle speeds stay low to keep residential neighborhoods safe.

The annual Slow Down Campaign is inspired by the national “Keep Kids Alive Drive 25” program.

Using radar speed signs, hundreds of yard signs will be placed throughout various neighborhoods, as well as an increased police presence from the Cranberry Police Department. This year’s summer campaign is set for June 7-21, coinciding with the end of the Seneca Valley School District academic year.

The radar signs are moved every day to different neighborhoods, and the data gathered is used as the basis for making changes to the program or stepping up awareness of the initiative.

The program is funded through local business sponsorships and the Cranberry Township Community Chest. Participating neighborhoods in the past have included Winchester Farms, Marshall Woods, The Glenn at Woodside, Woodbine Estates, Glenbrook Manor, Freedom Woods, Hampshire Woods, Hazelwood Farms, Crossings, Ehrman Farms, Havenwood, Cranberry West,
Winchester Farms, Winchester Lakes, Pinehurst, Kingsbrook, Timberline, Oakview Estates, Cranberry Heights, Bristol Creek, Orchard Park, and Autumn Hill.
