Lethbridge #SlowYourRoll campaign underway
It looks like Spring is finally here, the weather being one indicator, but another one is the return of the #SlowYourRoll signs popping up in Lethbridge neighbourhoods. The campaign aims to encourage people to slow down while driving, watch for pedestrians, and just be aware of their general surroundings when they are behind the wheel. The initiative was founded by Lethbridge realtor Chris DiPasquale, following the April 13, 2020 death of 10-year-old Charles McIntyre, who was hit by a vehicle on Lethbridge’s west side. He says his organization’s partnership with the Lethbridge Police Service is helping to alert motorists to be careful in playground zones.
People in the community looking to put up a sign on their property can obtain one via the #SlowYourRoll Facebook page, or at the campaign website.
