St. Pete Beach Launches S.A.F.E. Pedestrian Campaign

St. Pete Beach Launches Pedestrian Safety Campaign: S.A.F.E. Safety Awareness For Everyone. Visitors to our beaches expect Gulf Boulevard to be a lazy beach road rather than a state thoroughfare. Four to five lanes of traffic moving at 35 miles/hour has meant injury and even death to more visitors than anyone likes to see. In addition to the catastrophic harm to the family of the injured and deceased, a pedestrian collision is something no resident wants to live with the rest of their lives. Generally, collisions occur when visitors step out in front of approaching cars.
