How do residents feel about traffic safety in St. Louis? 🛑 ⚠️ 🚗🚦 (Part 1/2)
Not great, our recent survey shows. Most felt that local traffic was unsafe and getting more dangerous. Only 1% of respondents thought it was getting safer.
Mayor Tishaura O. Jones recently signed a bill to address the traffic violence fears in our community. In a recent St. Louis City Government article, she said, “This bill makes a historic investment in St. Louis’ infrastructure, prioritizing road safety to help calm our streets while discouraging dangerous driving. Engineering is just one piece of road safety strategy, and the City is also exploring automated enforcement like red light cameras to help hold reckless drivers accountable when they break the law.”

Mayor Tishaura Jones on traffic safety

How do residents feel about traffic safety in St. Louis? 🛑 ⚠️ 🚗🚦
Most call local traffic “unsafe” and “becoming more dangerous.”
Mayor Tishaura O. Jones recently signed a bill to address the traffic violence fears in our community. In a St. Louis City Government article published on March 1st, she spoke to community members who feel unsafe on St. Louis roads, stating, “Traffic violence tears families and communities apart, and to all those who say they feel scared on our roads: I hear you. Parents in our city are asking ourselves: How can we teach our teenagers how to drive in a city where the rules of the road can feel more like suggestions? This bill makes a historic investment in St. Louis’ infrastructure, prioritizing road safety to help calm our streets while discouraging dangerous driving. Engineering is just one piece of road safety strategy, and the City is also exploring automated enforcement like red light cameras to help hold reckless drivers accountable when they break the law.”
