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.
