With National Pedestrian Month coming to a close on Halloweekend and Daylight Savings Time, this is your reminder to keep pedestrian safety front of mind as the days get shorter and dark hours get longer 🚸 Here are some tips to help make sure everyone gets home safe:
🚗 For drivers: Slow down and always watch for pedestrians. Exercise extra caution at nighttime or in bad weather. Yield to pedestrians and give plenty of room around crosswalks so that other vehicles may see them, too.
👟 For pedestrians: Visibility is key - use a flashlight and/or wear bright colored clothes/reflective gear when it's dark outside. Cross in the crosswalk - if a crosswalk or intersection is not available, locate a well-lit area where you have the best view of traffic. Walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible.
