Pedestrians
The number of pedestrian injuries/fatalities could be greatly reduced if motorists were more observant, particularly on streets with parked vehicles, during hours of darkness or poor visibility, in spots with a number of children going to and from school or play areas, and in areas with churches, mailboxes, bus stops and other spots with high foot traffic.
- Yield to all vehicles when crossing at points other than crosswalks.
- When walking on a roadway, stay as far left as possible, in single file.
- In darkness/poor visibility, carry alight, wear clothing in light colors and/or with reflective materials.
- Slippery roads/poor visibility may hinder driver’s ability to stop quickly.
- Make eye contact with a driver before proceeding.
Drivers
- Stop for school children and school safety patrols directing movement.
- Yield to blind pedestrians with canes and/or guide dogs.
- Not block crosswalks when at a stop sign or waiting on a red light.
- Stop for a school bus displaying an extended stop arm.
