Buckle up Queen Creek!
Queen Creek Police Department will be taking part in the national Click it or Ticket campaign this holiday weekend. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2020, more than 10,000 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in crashes. Among the young adults, between the ages of 18-34, more than half were completely unrestrained.
Please "Drive to Arrive" the Memorial Day weekend, and every day, to help keep our roads safe!
The Drive to Arrive program is this year's town resolution to focus on safe driving. Queen Creek police are asking drivers to slow down, avoid distractions and remember the following tips: Allow ample time for travel to avoid aggressive driving and speeding; turn phone to "do not disturb" or keep it in your purse/bag while driving; slow down; stop on red and use common courtesy.
"Our goal is to make drivers safe, whether they're residents or just driving through town," Queen Creek Police Chief Randy Brice said. "That's why our Drive to Arrive campaign has been our focus to begin with. Traffic has been of the most concern to residents and this campaign focuses on keeping people safe on the roads."
