Jericho, VT Parody: A driver passed the digital speed sign and saw that it was darkened.

Browns Trace Parody: A driver passed the digital speed sign and saw it was darkened. 

Astounded that he could be traveling that slowly, he turned around and even going faster, passed the speed sign

Again the driver saw that the sign was darkened. He couldn’t believe it!

So he turned around and, going at an ambulance’s pace, he passed the sign. Again he saw the darkened sign. He guessed it must be faulty, so he went home. 

Four weeks later he received traffic tickets in the mail, all for illegal U-turns.

Sun in, Sign out - of order that is. 

Jericho Community for Slower and Safer Streets. Whatever it takes to get traffic to slow down - is our motto. We recognize the lifesaving power of slower roads.

• Speed limits are a tool for controlling the significant risks drivers can impose on others. 

• Can we re-imagine road design: What it looks like to put safety above car culture? To provide a better experience for people outside of vehicles on a street. 

• Injury minimization: Consider putting people and safety first.

• Community demands for traffic calming, for slower speeds, are worthy of our town's attention. 

• Our public agencies must work to achieve these targeted safe speeds through narrowing road widths via design and other methods.  Regarding using fog lines: Significant reductions in "effective" street width are required to dramatically reduce speeds (14-16 feet effective width).
