Torrance Police are using Pedestrian Safety Month to remind drivers that some of the simplest habits behind the wheel can prevent serious crashes.

The department’s September campaign emphasizes slowing down, watching for people on foot and paying particular attention at intersections and crosswalks.

The message is especially timely with schools back in session and more children and families moving through neighborhoods during morning and afternoon commute periods.

California agencies are making similar reminders statewide this month, encouraging drivers to reduce speed and eliminate distractions whenever pedestrians are nearby.

For Torrance residents, the takeaway is straightforward: a few extra seconds of attention behind the wheel can make a major difference.
