County Executive McCoy Announces 40th Annual Traffic Safety Awareness Show & Car Seat Check
–At Crossgates September 21 – September 22-
Guilderland, NY – Wearing a seat belt can save your life and prevent injuries. Unfortunately, there are still people who don’t buckle up. Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy and Crossgates are once again hosting the Albany County Traffic Safety Awareness Show & Car Seat Check on Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22, 2024.
“Everyone riding in a motor vehicle needs to be buckled up. It’s the law and wearing seat belts saves lives,” said County Executive McCoy. “We also continue to find car seats that are not installed properly, need to be replaced or that have been recalled. This is an opportunity for parents to get their seats inspected to protect their most precious cargo. I am happy we continue to offer this vital opportunity to keep our children safe.”
The 40th Annual Traffic Safety Awareness Show will be held during regular mall hours on the lower level from The LEGO Store to Urban Outfitters. The car seat checkup event commemorating National Seat Check Saturday will be held in the overflow parking lot next to Washington Ave. Ext. September 21, 1pm – 4 pm.
Over the weekend, participants will be educated on the dangers that exist on the road and best practices for traffic and child passenger safety. Both events are free and sponsored by The Albany County Department of Public Works Traffic Safety Program.
