Stop speeding with the Pace Car Program

Tired of speeding? Become a Pace Car Community. Residents pledge to drive the speed limit and make our streets safer.

Pace Car is a partnership of Active & Safe Routes to School, the IWK Health Centre Foundation and the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal.

Learn more at www.pacecar.ca and pacecar@ecologyaction.ca.

“The Pace Car program helps stop speeding on neighbourhood streets. It’s simple – drivers in your community sign the Pace Car pledge, and then proudly display the official Pace Car emblems on their cars. By agreeing to drive within the speed limit, cars become “mobile speed bumps,” slowing the traffic behind them. Drivers also agree to be more aware of and courteous to other road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists. Many Pace Cars can effectively calm traffic throughout your neighbourhood. The more people who join, the better it works!”
