City of Glendale Adopts Watch the Road Program

During the past couple of years, the City of Glendale has experienced a spike in the number of pedestrians hit at intersections. In order to address this problem, the Glendale Police Department has adopted the City of Los Angeles award winning "Watch the Road" pedestrian safety messages.

The Glendale Police Department will distribute literature targeting elderly residents who are distracted while crossing the street and urging them to Watch the Road when walking. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
