Senior Residents Speak Up About Road Safety in the Village of Palm Springs Senior Citizen Health Expo 2024

Speeding on major roads and pedestrian safety top the list of concerns, sparking calls for enhanced safety measures like speed bumps, better street lighting, and safer crosswalks.

In Florida’s urban areas, a quick-build bike network aims to reshape mobility. By installing dedicated bike lanes, shared paths, and safe crossings, cities can improve access and reduce congestion. This initiative encourages cycling and supports sustainable transportation, making urban environments more functional. With community input and practical designs, the quick-build network seeks to change how Floridians move around their cities.

Distracted Driving in South Florida: A Serious Risk

In the fast-paced streets of South Florida, distracted driving has become a serious issue, contributing to an increasing number of crashes each year. With so many distractions at our fingertips—phones, navigation systems, and even everyday conversations—it’s easy to lose focus. However, in a region like ours, where traffic is heavy and roads are busy, even a split second of inattention can lead to tragedy. As part of South Florida’s Vision Zero initiatives, communities like Palm Springs are working to eliminate traffic-related deaths. Let’s do our part by staying alert and keeping our streets safe for everyone.
