Drive 25 Pledge

Every time we get behind the wheel, we have a responsibility to look out for the safety of our passengers and the community around us. Our village speed limits are 25 miles per hour. Driving 25 mph or less in our villages is a very simple way to help make our streets safer for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and our entire community.
This pledge is a commitment to do my part. Slow Down Warwick is a part of the Town of Warwick’s Safe Streets for All initiative, which is focused on making our roads safer and reducing serious and fatal crashes. I take the Drive 25 pledge and make a commitment to slowing down and driving responsibility. My choice can help encourage others to do the same. Safer streets start with all of us.
I pledge to drive no faster than 25 miles per hour (or otherwise posted limit) when in the boundaries Village of Warwick, Village of Greenwood Lake, and Village of Florida. In areas where posted speed limits are lower or outside of the village limits, I will go the posted speed limit. I pledge to be attentive the entire time while driving, avoid distractions like texting, phone calls, or adjusting devices while driving, and to obey all traffic laws and signals.
I pledge to be courteous and calm when behind the wheel.

Did you know that speed limits have traditionally been set based on how fast people already drive, not on how fast we *should* drive?
A common method uses the 85th percentile at which drivers travel when traffic is flowing freely. This means speed limits have often been based more on driver behavior than on the surrounding community, including nearby homes, schools, sidewalks, and pedestrians.

Thank you for taking the pledge!
