Safety Tips: Walking
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.
