Safety Tips
While pedestrians have the right to use most roads, it's safest to walk on the sidewalk whenever possible. If there's no sidewalk, walk facing oncoming traffic so you can see vehicles and react quickly if needed.
Here are some additional tips for pedestrians:
- Wear brightly colored or reflective clothing, especially at night.
- Always use marked crosswalks when crossing the street.
- Look left, right, and left again before stepping into the street.
- Check for parked cars before crossing to ensure no drivers are inside.
