Please take note of the following pedestrian safety precautions and driver awareness:
Pedestrians:
- Use the flashing crosswalk lights whenever they are available to use.
- Pedestrians are to use sidewalks whenever they are safely available.
- When sidewalks are unavailable, pedestrians must walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.
- Pedestrians must obey traffic signals and/or traffic officers.
- Wear light colored clothing and add reflective material to increase your visibility at night.
Drivers:
- Drivers! No cell phone use while driving! It can wait.
- Drivers must stop for the flashing crosswalk lights when they are flashing.
- Regardless of the right-of-way, the driver is required by law to take great care to avoid striking a pedestrian.
