Speed Kills. Don’t.

 Community Safety Notice: Speeding Concern on Moonstone & Rawhide

We received a report from a neighbor regarding a recent speeding incident in the area of Moonstone and Rawhide.

A white Mercedes driven by a teenage male, was observed traveling at a very high rate of speed, well above what’s typical for the neighborhood down Moonstone before turning left onto Rawhide, with tires screeching during the turn. The reporting neighbor noted this is part of a broader pattern of frequent speeding in the area, particularly near Rawhide and Siesta. An account from another neighbor of a similar white sedan was recalled with a UofA football emblem on the back.

This behavior is raising safety concerns for residents, especially families with children. Some neighbors have shared that they no longer feel comfortable allowing their kids to walk home from the bus stop due to speeding vehicles.

We want to keep our neighborhood safe, walkable, and family-friendly, and situations like this deserve our collective attention.

What You Can Do

• Stay alert and aware when walking, biking, or driving in the neighborhood. Remember that if you are walking/running/biking in the dark, please use lights in the front and the back and or reflective stripes/wests. It’s not only about seeing but also being seen.

• Talk with your family members, especially teen drivers, about safe speeds and residential awareness

• Report ongoing or dangerous driving behavior to local non-emergency authorities when possible

• Share helpful details (vehicle description + license plate, time of day, patterns, etc) if you witness similar incidents

• Connect with neighbors to stay informed and support one another in keeping the area safe
