INC NEWS - Information on the Pace Car Brochure

[David Harris]

Enlisting Neighbors Durham neighborhoods, particularly communities challenged by speed violations and traffic congestion, are encouraged to participate in the Pace Car Program. Reducing speeding traffic in a targeted area is most successful when there is a collective effort among the community’s residents.

If 50% of the residents in a community watch program or neighborhood association commit to participate in the Pace Car program for a one year period, the City of Durham’s Police Department and Public Work’s Transportation Division will recognize the community’s effort. A “Pace Car Friendly Community” sign
will be installed to recognize the community’s commitment to speed reduction and traffic safety.

The City will conduct a traffic study once a year to determine if the community is in compliance with the pledge and if additional enforcement is needed.
