Neighborhood safety: crime statistic maps & residential driving tips

CityProtect Maps: On behalf of PWC Police Department, find directions to research crime statistics in your community through CityProtect Maps.

Neighborhood Driving Safety Tips: When you’re behind the wheel of a car – whether alone or with passengers – driving safely is a top concern, especially in residential areas. We’re more distracted than ever, so it’s crucial to know the basics of safe driving and practice them every time you’re on the road. Here are some safe driving tips from the PWC Police Department:

• Look for pedestrians everywhere. They may be walking in unexpected areas, or may be hard to see-- especially at night, in poorly lit areas, or in bad weather.
• Follow safety laws in your state or local area-- always stop or yield for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
• Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk. They might be stopped to allow pedestrians to cross the street.
• Stay alert where children may be present, for instance in school zones and neighborhoods.
• Slow down and carefully adhere to posted speed limits, particularly in urban and pedestrian-heavy areas. Speed is one of the most important factors in pedestrian crash survivability.
