Thanksgiving Travel Safety Tips from Mayor Scanlon

Staff Report / Buffalolocal.org

As Thanksgiving approaches, Mayor Christopher P. Scanlon has released safety tips to help families stay safe during their travels this holiday season.

The mayor emphasizes the importance of planning ahead and allowing for extra travel time, as the increase in road traffic can lead to a higher potential for accidents. He advises drivers to avoid distractions by putting away cell phones and refraining from texting while driving.

Observing speed limits is another critical recommendation, along with staying focused on changing traffic patterns. Finally, the mayor urges all travelers to buckle up, ensuring that everyone in the vehicle is securely fastened, particularly children in the appropriate car seats.

These measures are intended to promote safe travel during the busy Thanksgiving period.
