While you cannot control the actions of the driver of a motor vehicle, you can take precautions to make sure you and your family are as safe as possible when traveling as a pedestrian. Reduce your risk of injury by following these safe pedestrian tips:

  • Avoid texting or using an electronic device while walking or jogging
  • Cross only at designated crosswalks and intersections
  • Look both ways at all crossings. Assume a vehicle does not see you even if you have the right of way
  • Walk and/or jog only on designated sidewalks and paths
  • Maintain visibility by wearing bright clothing, especially at night
