The
Safe Driving Pledge Campaign encourages residents to drive safely while
spreading the message about this program. The members of the Belvedere
Police Department are asking you to join us in making the pledge.
The purpose of the Pledge campaign is to raise awareness and encourage motorists to:
- Drive within the legal speed limit on neighborhood streets.
- Share the road with pedestrians and bicyclists, be courteous, and drive safely.
- Reduce cell phone use to urgent calls only and always hands-free.
Never text, use the internet, or use any other handheld devices while
driving.
