Throughout the history of the city of Westminster, the community has felt strongly about traffic and pedestrian safety. Much of the early history of the police department was full of stories about enforcement matters involving speeding horse and buggies and pedestrian safety. In this picture, from around 1950, a sign character we called “Sammy Safety,” at the corner of Liberty Street and West Main Street at the railroad tracks, proudly proclaims “No traffic deaths since Sept. 3, 1949. Although I have long since forgotten, oral history used to recite the story of the Sept. 3, 1949 traffic death as a cautionary tale.
