COMMUNITY ADVISORY: PLEASE AVOID ACTIVE EMERGENCY AREAS

During last week’s fire near the Mountain Cove community, a significant number of people drove into the area to view the incident. The additional traffic impeded emergency personnel and congested the primary route residents may have needed to use if an evacuation had been ordered.

When a fire, major collision, police activity, or other emergency is occurring, please do not travel to the area unless you live there or have a legitimate need to be present.

Unnecessary traffic can:
• Delay fire, police, and medical personnel
• Block emergency vehicles and equipment
• Interfere with evacuation routes
• Place additional people at risk
• Make it more difficult for first responders to safely manage the incident

Please rely on official public safety alerts, agency social media accounts, and trusted news sources for updates. Keeping roads clear allows emergency personnel to respond quickly and helps protect residents who may need to evacuate.

Your cooperation can make a meaningful difference during an emergency.

Speeding doesn’t just increase your chances of getting a ticket—it increases the risk of a crash.

Throughout July, the Azusa Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers who are speeding or driving too fast for road conditions as part of a traffic safety campaign focused on reducing speed-related crashes.

Speeding continues to be one of the leading causes of fatal traffic collisions. Every time you choose to slow down, you give yourself more time to react, reduce the severity of a crash, and help keep everyone on our roads safe.

Here are a few ways you can help:
• Leave a few minutes earlier.
• Obey posted speed limits.
• Slow down for traffic, weather, and road conditions.
• Avoid aggressive driving behaviors like tailgating and weaving through traffic.

This July and beyond, let’s work together to slow the fast down. Every trip matters. Every decision matters.

This traffic safety campaign is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
