The Minick Law Firm and Attorney Lakota R. Denton are proud to launch “Slow Down Asheville,” a public safety campaign designed to help motorists drive safely on Asheville’s busy and narrow roadways.
Along with co-sponsors by N.C. Farm Bureau and FastSigns of Asheville, we will be distributing FREE “SLOW DOWN ASHEVILLE” yard signs to residents and businesses, to serve as a reminder to Asheville motorists to drive with appropriate caution on our city streets.
Asheville, N.C. holds the unfortunate title for the highest number of pedestrian injuries in the state, per capita. The city’s vibrant growth brings with it more challenges to pedestrian and bicycle safety, as our roads get more and more congested, and side streets become thoroughfares for drivers looking for shortcuts.
This project hits especially close to home for us at Minick Law, as many of our attorneys and staff members live in Asheville’s particularly congested neighborhoods, with young children and pets. Watching motorists zoom past our homes every day, we decided that we needed to do what we could to help address and bring much needed awareness to an important local issue.
