🚨 Some drivers are running red lights in Connecticut and it’s a serious problem.
We all know red means STOP, but some drivers are speeding through red lights, putting everyone at risk. This can lead to T-bone collisions, one of the deadliest types of crashes.
🏁 Getting to your destination a minute or so faster is not worth risking your life, or someone else’s.
A few important reminders:
👉 Right on red? Always come to a complete stop first and check that it’s clear.
🚫 See a “No Turn on Red” sign? That means wait. Ignoring it isn’t just illegal, it can lead to serious consequences.
Let’s all do our part to keep Connecticut roads safe.
