March is Traffic Awareness Month

Santa Clarita is focusing on traffic awareness this month, so if you can take a minute to contribute to the cause, remind yourself of a few things while driving.

Please pull over to the side if you hear/see an ambulance or emergency vehicle.  If you’re driving around the hospital, you can almost expect to hear them, so use caution.

Teenagers can not have another person in the car (except parent or sibling) during the first year of their provisional license.  To report dangerous teen drivers you can call 877-310-STOP.

With all the construction going on in the west side of town, it’s good to know that tickets are usually doubled in construction zones, so keep it slow and be careful.

Stay safe, pay attention, stay off the phone while driving if you can.  This law will go into effect in July anyway, so may as well get used to it now.
