“No Need for Speed” Calm Driving Playlist

Drive to the beat of a different tune and take it easy on the roads! CDOT has created a custom “No Need for Speed” Spotify playlist featuring mellow, slow-paced songs to encourage drivers to slow down.

This initiative stems from a study by Memorial University of Newfoundland, which found that drivers who listened to fast-tempo songs were more likely to exceed speed limits. With nearly 75% of motorists driving or riding with music (National Library of Medicine), this playlist aims to promote safer driving habits.
