Why They’re Winners:The city has consistently had better than national and state average seat belt use, bicycle injuries are down 63%, red light running crashes are down 33%, and vehicle occupant injuries are also down 29%.
White Plains has implemented significant traffic engineering projects throughout the years, and has continued to add a vast amount of new bike lanes, oversized signs, adaptive controls, advance walk signals, flexible delineator posts, and pedestrian countdown signals, just to name a few. The city also conducted a Public Safety Citizen’s Academy for high school students. Graduated students became better equipped to assess safety issues and share their knowledge of law enforcement practices. |
