The SCTPO and our traffic safety partners are taking a stand against red-light running by promoting safe driving habits during National Stop on Red Week, which runs August 3-9, 2025.
Created by the Federal Highway Administration and spearheaded by the National Coalition for Safer Roads (NCSR), National Stop on Red Week aims to educate drivers about the dangers of red-light running and to help reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes. The SCTPO is teaming up with West Melbourne PD, FDOT D5, and NCSR for a sign waving pop-up awareness event on August 8th, targeting rush hour traffic from 8:30 – 10:30 am at Hollywood Blvd. & Evans Rd. @ US 192 Intersection in West Melbourne.
