Tip of the Week



“KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25” CAMPAIGN

“KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25” is a traffic safety campaign to raise awareness of the residential speed limit.  In California the speed limit in residential areas is 25 MPH, unless posted otherwise.  The goal of the “KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25” organization and the Monrovia Police Department is working together to end injuries and deaths that result from speeding vehicles in our neighborhoods.  The street in front of your home is over twice as dangerous as highways when it comes to number of deaths per miles driven (Federal Highway Administration).


The “KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25” organization, the Monrovia Police Department and the Monrovia Unified School District are working collaboratively to create safe streets through education and active community Involvement.
