Slow Your Roll to Stay Safe on State!

Authored on
Body

With the summer season and Old Spanish Days Fiesta attracting walkers, bikers, and drivers Downtown, the City encourages everyone to “Stay Safe on State” and “Slow Your Roll.”  By obeying traffic laws, slowing down, and yielding to pedestrians, everyone can share the Promenade safely.

When biking:

  1. Watch your speed
  2. Stop at red lights and stop signs
  3. Yield to pedestrians
  4. Do not ride on the sidewalk

When walking:

  1. Don’t walk in the bike lanes
  2. Scan and cross the street directly
  3. At intersections, wait for your green light

Be alert, watch your speed, and help us achieve Vision Zero by eliminating fatalities and severe injuries on City streets. For more information on the City’s Vision Zero Strategy for traffic safety, please visit SantaBarbaraCA.gov/VisionZero.
