 Slow Down, Chula Vista!
Running Late? Better Late than NEVER.
The Engineering and Police Departments are working together on a comprehensive program to reduce speeding by employing Engineering, Enforcement and Education efforts. These efforts include strategically placed posters throughout Chula Vista; informational brochures, in English and Spanish; along with bumper stickers and window clings that our Police Department distributes at community events, DUI checkpoints and special enforcement events. Brochures are also available in the lobby of the Public Services Building.
The City's Engineering and Police Departments have teamed up to create a comprehensive Neighborhood Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Program, which includes efforts to change high risk behavior in eight focus areas:
- East Orange Avenue between Melrose Avenue and Hilltop Drive
- Olympic Parkway between Brandywine Avenue and Heritage Road
- L Street between Hilltop Drive and Second Avenue
- East H Street between Paseo Del Rey and Auburn Avenue
- Telegraph Canyon Road between Paseo Del Rey and Paseo Ranchero
- H Street between I-805 and Third Avenue
- Otay Lakes Road between Bonita Road and Canyon Drive
- Olympic Parkway between Heritage Road and La Media Road

Speed Enforcement Schedule
Speeding is a hard habit to break. But think about it. Speed can kill you or someone you love. Changing everyone's behavior behind the wheel can save lives.
- In a 2005 Resident Opinion Survey, Chula Vista told us that speeding is their #1 concern.
- Unsafe speed was the primary factor in 23% of all collisions in the city between 2003 and 2006.
