Prescott Valley Drivers Reminded to Watch Their Speed
Description
The Prescott Valley Police Department, with the support of the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS), reminds motorists that speeding is a leading factor in serious and fatal traffic collisions.
Speeding is more than driving over the posted limit. Drivers must also travel at a speed that is safe for current traffic, weather, road, and visibility conditions.
As speed increases, so does stopping distance, reaction time decreases, and collisions become more severe. What may seem like “just a few miles over” can mean the difference between avoiding a collision and not having enough time to react.
Drivers are encouraged to:
- Obey posted speed limits.
- Adjust speed for road and weather conditions.
- Maintain a safe following distance.
- Slow down around pedestrians, bicyclists, construction, and heavy traffic.
- Allow extra time for trips rather than speeding.
A few minutes saved is never worth a life. Slow down. Stay alert. Arrive safely.
The Prescott Valley Police Department and GOHS are committed to promoting safer roadways through education, awareness, and enforcement.
