Pedestrian Safety


For Drivers...

  • Stop and yield for pedestrians in crosswalks.

  • When turning, yield the right of way to pedestrians.

  • Put your phone away before you begin driving and pay attention so you’re prepared if pedestrians enter your path.

  • Be cautious when passing stopped buses or other vehicles that can block your view of pedestrians.

  • Follow the posted speed limit and drive to conditions.

For People Walking...

  • Cross the street only at intersections and crosswalks. Look left, right, then left again before crossing.

  • Make eye contact with drivers before crossing. Don’t assume traffic will stop for you.

  • Follow all traffic and crosswalk signals.

  • When walking, put away electronic devices that take your attention off the road.

  • Stay visible. Wear reflective materials or use a flashlight at night.
