Pedestrian and Crosswalk Safety
Everyone walks. Even one pedestrian fatality is too many. Be alert when you’re driving and be seen when you are a pedestrian. Let’s share the road safely.
Be Safe and Be Seen
Wear bright clothing and reflective materials when walking at night.
Cross in a well-lit area at night.
Stand clear of buses, hedges, parked cars or other obstacles before crossing so drivers can see you.
Be Smart and Alert
Always walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
Stay sober; walking while impaired increases your chance of being struck.
Don’t assume vehicles will stop; make eye contact with drivers, don’t just look at the vehicle.
If a driver is on a cell phone, they may not be paying enough attention to drive safely.
Don’t rely solely on pedestrian signals; look before you cross the road.
Be alert to engine noise or backup lights on cars when in parking lots and near on-street parking spaces.
Be Careful at Crossings
Look before you step in a marked crosswalk.
Cross streets at marked crosswalks or intersections, if possible.
Obey traffic signals such as walk/don’t walk signs.
Look left, right and left again before crossing a street.
Watch for turning vehicles; make sure the driver sees you and will stop for you.
Look across all lanes you must cross and visually clear each lane before proceeding.
Just because one motorist stops, do not presume drivers in other lanes can see you and will stop for you.
Don’t wear headphones or talk on a cell phone while crossing.
