The Town of Greenwich is officially launching Greenwich GO, a new public awareness campaign series aimed to educate and promote safe driving, walking, and bicycling. Jointly endorsed through the Towns’ Public Works and Police Departments, this initiative will feature a series of road safety-related topics throughout the campaign.
The first topic that the Greenwich GO campaign will cover is sharrows. Also known as Shared Lane Markings, sharrows remind bicyclists and motorists that they must share the lane. Sharrows are painted on the roadway to improve bicycling safety on streets that are too narrow for traditional bike lanes. The Department of Public Works recently installed sharrows on Ritch Avenue, Hamilton Avenue, Old Field Point Road, Railroad Avenue, Steamboat Road, Museum Drive, Davis Avenue, Indian Harbor Drive, Hendrie Avenue, Drinkwater Place, Summit Road, Spring Street, Riverside Avenue, and Meadow Road.

The Greenwich Police Department strives to provide superior law enforcement and public services in cooperation with its community. The Department actively promotes an environment that encourages independent judgment and allows its employees to attain the highest levels of professional achievement.
