As School Year Ends, Cranberry To Remind Motorists To Slow Down

CRANBERRY, PA — With the school year ending and more students soon to be outside more often, township officials will bring back the annual Slow Down Campaign in Cranberry communities. The initiative is inspired by the national “Keep Kids Alive Drive 25” program, which marks its 25th anniversary in 2024.

Using radar speed signs, hundreds of yard signs will be placed throughout various neighborhoods, as well as an increased police presence from the Cranberry Township Police Department. This year’s summer campaign is set for June 6-20, 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 have included Park Place, Bellevue Park, Fernway, Havenwood, Blue Ridge, Antler’s Ridge, St. Leonard’s Woods, Briar Creek, Winchester Farms, Freedom Woods, Cranberry West, Scenic Ridge, Highland Village, Marshall Woods, The Glenn at Woodside, Woodbine Estates, Glenbrook Manor, Manor Creek, Hampshire Woods, Hazelwood Farms, Hunter’s Creek, Spring Meadows, the Crossings, Ehrman Farms, Havenwood, Woodlawn Road, Winchester Lakes, Pinehurst, Kingsbrook, Timberline, Oakview Estates, Cranberry Heights, Bristol Creek, Orchard Park, Meeder, the Woodlands and Autumn Hill.
