Roanoke, Virginia – The City of Roanoke is preparing to launch its 2025 traffic safety campaign, and officials are asking for public input to help shape its message. The campaign, which will focus on distracted driving, is set to launch this summer in an effort to encourage safer driving habits throughout the community.

Addressing the Dangers of Distracted Driving

Every day in the United States, distracted driving causes nine deaths and over 1,000 injuries in crashes. With these alarming statistics, Roanoke’s campaign aims to raise awareness and change behaviors by reminding drivers to stay focused behind the wheel.

To ensure the campaign resonates with the community, Roanoke is seeking feedback on potential safety slogans. Residents can participate by taking a quick 5-minute survey, where they can vote on slogans or suggest their own ideas.

The survey is open until Monday, March 10, giving locals the opportunity to help shape the messaging for this crucial safety initiative.
