2025 Traffic Safety Campaign – Focused Driving, Safe Arriving

The 2025 “Focused Driving, Safe Arriving” campaign addressed one of the greatest dangers on Roanoke streets – distracted driving. Whether it's texting, adjusting the GPS, or reaching for something in the backseat, even a moment of distraction can have life-changing consequences. The campaign ran from June 2 to July 13, 2025, and sought to decrease distraction-involved crashes by:

● Raising awareness of the risks, consequences, and relevant laws of distracted driving
● Encouraging focused driving behavior by providing practical solutions to avoid distracted driving
● Fostering a social norm of safe, focused driving in Roanoke
