If you see a dirt bike or an ATV out on the street, or if you witness any type of unsafe traffic behavior please call 946-6956 and give us information 24 hours a day. If you wish to speak to someone, you can leave your phone number and request a callback. You can also email us at TrafficSafety@newhavenct.net. Your name and contact information will remain confidential.
2. Make sure your children and other children know not to ride dirt bikes or ATVs on the street.
3. Wear a helmet when you’re out on a bicycle or motorcycle. Encourage your family and friends to do the same!
4. Follow traffic signs, adhere to the speed limit and always stop at a Stop Sign.
