As part of its ongoing efforts to ensure a safe community, the Property, Streets, Traffic & Safety Committee is rolling out the PACE Car Program... an initiative to promote safe driving throughout Trappe Borough. Residents who participate in the program are asked to sign a pledge to drive within the speed limit, stop for pedestrians, drive courteously, and display a PACE Car Sticker on their vehicles.
"PACE Car drivers act as 'moving speed bumps', helping to slow speeding vehicles on residential roadways," says Borough Councilwoman Cathy Johnson. "And the PACE Car Stickers remind all to respect traffic laws in our community."
The speed limit on most Borough roads is 25 miles per hour.
Before launching the PACE Car Program, the Borough must have a PACE Car Sticker. Do you think you can design an eye-catching PACE Car Sticker? Download a PACE Car Sticker Design Contest form, and submit your best idea before August 1. The winning design will be published in the very next issue of the Trappe Borough Post!
