Fairfax Police Department Makes 'Slow Down' Signs Available for Mount Vernon Neighborhoods

Worried about drivers speeding through your neighborhood? Help is on the way.

The new Fairfax County speed initiative continued on Wednesday, with a community kick-off at Braddock Hall. Braddock Road Supervisor, John C. Cook, police commanders from the Traffic Unit and the West Springfield Police District demonstrated new, electronic speed detection devices for dozens of homeowner association leaders and answered questions about the program.

Neighborhood yard signs, with the campaign’s tag line “Slow Down. You Live Here. We Live Here” were also distributed. Motorists and residents should expect to see the yellow signs popping up in yards and neighborhoods across the County.

Request a sign yard sign from your Board of Supervisor member, and help spread the word.
