Hawthorne Police Department Traffic Bureau
St. Anthony’s Feast 2024 Safety Notice
Date: Wednesday, June 12, 2024 to Saturday, June 15, 2024
Dear Residents and Visitors,
As we prepare to celebrate St. Anthony's Feast, the Hawthorne Police Department Traffic Bureau would like to remind everyone to park legally and travel with caution to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for all. During the feast, traffic volume increases significantly in a relatively small area with numerous pedestrians crossing the streets.
As a Pedestrian:
  • Use Designated Crosswalks: Always use designated crosswalks to cross the streets. This helps maintain order and safety.
As a Driver:
  • Exercise Patience: Be on high alert and exercise patience when driving in the St. Anthony’s Feast zone.
  • Focus on Driving: Contribute to safety by focusing on driving and refraining from distracted and aggressive driving.
  • Be Extra Cautious Near Crosswalks: Approach crosswalks with caution and be prepared to stop for pedestrians.
Police Directions:
  • Ensure Safety: Make sure you follow officers directions.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Guidelines:
  • Use the Curb: Drop off and pick up passengers next to the curb.
  • Passenger Safety: Never let off or take on passengers from the driver's side of the vehicle. This ensures their safety and reduces the risk of accidents.
By following these guidelines and safety laws, we can all help ensure that St. Anthony's Feast is a safe and enjoyable event for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation. Enjoy St. Anthony's Feast safely!
Sincerely,
Hawthorne Police Department Traffic Bureau
