Police Urge Road Safety Awareness

In a social media post, the department offered this reminder:

Every day we share the roadways not only with other cars and trucks; but with motorcycles, e-bikes, bicycles and pedestrians. As we enter the final months of the year, the colder temperatures and weather events make the roadways a little more challenging. Be aware of your surroundings, stay focused, put phones down and avoid distractions at all times.
