As the city settles into the silent night of Christmas Eve, an unusual traffic advisory has been issued, not for the bustling streets of Cleveland, but for its airspace, where the jolliest traveler of them all is currently defying all conventional aviation speed limits, Santa Claus, on his annual global voyage, the Cleveland Division of Police shared a lighthearted reminder for residents to keep the skies clear for the man in the red suit.

The public service announcement, which appeared on the Cleveland Division of Police's Facebook page contained several tips: not to follow the sleigh, abstain from flashing headlights at the reindeer, and remember that rooftop landings are reserved for Santa himself, it's a whimsical nod to the magic that fills the air each December 24 and also serves as a reminder that safety is paramount, even on the most enchanting of evenings.

NORAD's Santa Tracker, a perennial digital tradition that allows children and the young at heart to monitor Saint Nick's whirlwind trip around the globe, was recommended by the Cleveland Police as the go-to source for those eager to chart Santa's progress through the night sky.
