Living in the Oakwood Subdivision, I'm constantly worried about the safety of our children who walk and ride their bikes around the neighborhood. Our streets are bustling with cars, and often, drivers fail to abide by the speed limits, putting young ones in danger. Just last week, I witnessed a car zoom past a group of kids riding their bikes to the local park. This kind of reckless driving is not rare, and it's only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs.

Electric speed signage could be a game changer for our community. These signs can effectively remind drivers of their speed and prompt them to slow down, especially in areas frequented by children. According to studies by the Federal Highway Administration, electronic speed signs can reduce speeding by an average of 10%, significantly enhancing road safety. Implementing such measures could drastically reduce the risk of accidents and protect our children from harm.

Oakwood is a family-friendly community, and ensuring the safety of our children should be a priority. By installing electric speed signage, we can create a safer environment for everyone, particularly our youngest residents. The cost of installation and maintenance is a small price to pay compared to the invaluable lives of our children.

Support our mission to keep Westmont safe for kids. Sign this petition to urge local authorities to install electric speed signage in crucial areas. Let's work together to make our community a safer place for everyone.
