Slow the Fast Down
JOIN US IN THE SLOW LANE
It's not about how fast you get there in Petaluma, but how you arrive. "Slow the Fast Down" is our campaign to ensure every drive is a safe one. A slower drive means:
- Safety for All: Help our chickens cross the road! Reduced speeds decrease accident risks and keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Slower driving uses less fuel, leading to savings at the pump and a greener Petaluma.
- More Time for Split-Second Decisions: From foul balls to phone calls, it’s easy to get distracted while driving. The faster we drive, the less time we have to react to unexpected events on the road.
- Less Stress, More Calm: Our stunning landscape isn’t just for tourists. Enjoy the view and reduce your daily stress.
Join us and pledge to "Slow the Fast Down." Embrace the beauty of every drive, acknowledge fellow drivers with a nod or wave, and arrive safely every time.
Petaluma is too beautiful – and life is too short - to speed through it. Slow the Fast Down today for safer roads and a happier Petaluma.

With your help, we can pinpoint, rank, and upgrade areas that need work to slow traffic down and make our streets safer. We know that fast cars and safe streets don't mix. In fact, high speeds are the cause behind most traffic collisions in Petaluma.
