Last night, City Council proclaimed Nov. 19, 2023 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We were so thankful to be joined by many community partners who are working towards our #VisionZero goal of 0 traffic deaths & serious injuries on city streets by 2030 #WDoR2023
ALT A group of about 25 people stand in city council chambers, looking at the camera and posed for a photo. They are holding signs that say "World day of remembrance for road traffic victims, Bellevue, WA".
Halloween Safety Tips
1. Slow down in residential neighborhoods.
2. Obey all traffic signs and signals.
3. Watch for children walking in the street or on medians and curbs.
4. Teach children to exit and enter the car on the curbside, away from traffic.
Happy Halloween!
Halloween festivities will be happening across the region this weekend. Extra DUI patrols will be canvasing the streets and highways across King County. If you are planning your costume, a safe and sober ride home should be part of your planning!

It's #SecureYourLoad Day! No matter the trip or the load, be sure to tie it down to protect yourself and others on the road. A 20-pound object moving at 55 mph has a force of 1,000 pounds on impact.

Today we learned that the first quarter of 2022 was the worst since 2002. It's time to get back to basics on enforcement and stopping preventable, hazardous driving behaviors. @davidshepardson @lil_byington madd.org/press-release/state…
