…both measures called for in the recently adopted Providence Safe Streets Plan. Advocates will be at the State House in 2026 with a package of safety related bills including “Stop Super Speeders” legislation championed by Families For Safe Streets, in addition to speed camera and crash data bills.

Community members are urging Mayor Smiley and City Council members to work collaboratively to lower statutory speed limits from 25mph to 20mph on local streets and to prioritize safety countermeasures on the High Priority Network in order to help prevent severe crashes…

In 2025 across Rhode Island, seven pedestrians and bike riders were killed in preventable traffic crashes. Hundreds more people have been injured in crashes in that time. This is part of a nationwide public health crisis of more than 44,000 people killed in crashes in the U.S. in 2024

We hope you can join us to remember Michael and other lives lost to traffic violence on November 16 at City Hall on @familiesforsafestreets.org World Day of Remembrance.

He was an avid sports fan, never missing a good baseball or football game. Michael was the family historian, an avid walker, and read the newspaper front to back daily. He will be remembered for his huge smile, lingering laughs, & kindness. He was grateful for his community of neighbors & friends.

Families of traffic violence victims are welcome to attend and invited to participate. Please reach out by sending us a DM or email dylan@pvdstreets.org.

Nearly 40,000 people were killed on U.S. roads last year. Every loss is preventable when we design for safe speeds. This World Day of Remembrance, we commit to prioritize Safety over Speed to save lives.
