The Pleasant Ridge Community Council asks drivers to be part of the solution to make our neighborhood streets safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers and all who are out and about engaging in daily life.

 

Drivers sign a pledge to drive within the speed limit, drive courteously, yield to pedestrians and be mindful of bicyclists and others on the street. Those taking the pledge can also choose to display the Pleasant Streets sticker on their vehicles. It’s a citizens-in-action movement, with citizens leading by example, helping to calm traffic and raise awareness of the need for livable streets.

 

A Pleasant Streets Driver recognizes that quality of life for all residents is enhanced when responsible drivers adhere to the laws and safe driving practices on every street in our neighborhoods. A Pleasant Streets Driver also serves as an example so that the others will respect safety on our streets.

Please proudly display the Pleasant Streets sticker on a window, bumper or body of the rear of your vehicle.

Take the pledge to:

​

• Be aware of my speed and observe the speed limit;

• Slow down near schools and other areas such as playgrounds, parks, residential streets where children are present

• Always yield to pedestrians crossing the street

• Come to a complete stop at stop signs and then look carefully before proceeding

• Be courteous to bicyclists and other road users

• Not tailgate

• Not block walkways, bike lanes, or driveways when parking

• Consider using alternate means of transportation and consolidate car trips to lessen traffic on residential streets

• Display the Pleasant Streets Bumper Sticker on my vehicle so other drivers know why I am driving courteously and at a safe speed

• Encourage others to sign the pledge. The more Pleasant Streets drivers, the safer our streets will become.
