Stop for Kids Safety

STOP Red Light Running Campaign The STOP Red Light Running Campaign takes a new approach this month, encouraging drivers to put red light wait time to good use. The full campaign will be rolled out on billboards, street signs, promotional items, and a new web site, all announcing the same message: "Stop at the red. You'll only kill a few seconds." The STOP Red Light Running Campaign represents a collaboration of the Department of Parking and Traffic, the Police Department and... the Department of Public Health (Community Health Promotion and Prevention) to increase safety on the streets of San Francisco. Take the Safe Driving Pledge at www.redlightrunning.org. Stop for Kids Safety Week Stop for Kids Safety, an organization started by Marie and Ozzie Williams in memory of the death of their son Robert Davenport from an unsafe driver, continues its 9th annual Stop Light Walk/Run/Ride for Safety April 7th. Mayor Brown proclaimed the second week of April as "STOP FOR KIDS SAFETY WEEK." The event begins this Saturdy at Bayview Park, 9a.m. (3rd and Keith St) and ends at Candlestick Park where trees are planted and again will be planted for the victims of traffic accidents. Representatives of the Department of Public Health, along with elected officials and other city agencies, will join the community in this fight for safety on our streets.
