Pace Car Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pace Car Programs are initiatives that aim to reduce traffic speeds and encourage safe driving in neighborhoods and cities in the United States and Canada.[1] Willing drivers register an intention to abide by a safe driving code.
David Engwicht worked with Boise, Idaho to create the first Pace Car Program,[2] "a citizen-based initiative" which has been implemented across the country in cities such as Salt Lake City, Santa Cruz, and Boulder.[3]
Registration
The Federal Highway Administration describes the Pace Car scheme in these terms: "Resident pace car drivers agree to drive courteously, at or below the speed limit, and follow other traffic laws. Programs usually require interested residents to register as a pace car driver, sign a pledge to abide by the rules, and display a sticker on their vehicle."[4]
