Safe Walking Tips

• Look all ways before crossing at crosswalks. Keep to the right in the crosswalk.
• Avoid crossing between parked cars.
• Where there is no sidewalk and it is necessary to walk in the roadway, walk on left side, facing traffic.
• Wear or carry retro-reflective material at night to help drivers see you.
• Discuss traffic lights – green means go, yellow means wait, red means stop. Cross only at the right time.
• Never chase a ball into the street.
• Streets are for cars – children should play in the yard or a playground, not in the street.
• Learn street signs and what they mean (STOP, crosswalk, etc.).
• Never play behind parked cars in the driveway.
• Watch carefully whenever walking behind parked cars.
