Safety Initiatives 

We are proud of the work we have done to make Ladera Ranch safer for our families.  We have worked together with the community over the years to develop these great safety initiatives. 

S.L.O.W. Campaign

The Civic Council and Chamber of Commerce have developed a public safety campaign, called “SLOW your roll.”  This campaign encourages Ladera Ranch drivers and children to Stop, Look, Obey and Wave, while they drive, bike and walk throughout the community.

eBike Safety

Ladera Ranch has seen a huge impact in increase in cycling and the impact of eBikes are becoming more common. As the popularity of eBikes will continue to grow, LARMAC, LARCS and the Civic Council are partnering together to gathering helpful information from local agencies, industry groups and cycling experts to provide information.  Please take the time to review the information on the linked page to educate yourself, your children and community on the types of bikes, safety while operating a bike, and courtesy while using our local trails, sidewalks, parks and shared use spaces.
