What We Stand For

Our Four Pillars

Speeding

Speed kills on Encinitas streets

Speed is the single most important factor determining whether a traffic crash results in serious injury or death. We push for lower limits and calming infrastructure.

Intersections

Intersections are where crashes happen

Intersections are where crashes are most likely to occur. By improving safety at intersections specifically we can reduce the risk of serious injury or death on our streets.

DUIs

Impaired driving is preventable

Encinitas continues to see a high number of DUI incidents, and impaired driving has been a contributing factor in some of the fatal crashes on our roads.

Distracted Driving

Eyes on the road, not the phone

Distracted driving, especially cell phone use, significantly increases crash risk and is a top traffic safety priority in Encinitas.
