Pedestrian Safety Tips

In 2024, over 71,000 pedestrians were injured and almost 18 percent of all traffic deaths were pedestrians. We can all benefit from keeping Pedestrian Safety Tips in mind to protect ourselves and family members.

For Pedestrians:

• Be Visible: Wear light-colored or reflective clothing and use a flashlight at night. 
• Stay Aware: Put away cell phones and don’t wear headphones to hear approaching vehicles. 
• Use Sidewalks When Available and Walk Facing Traffic to see oncoming vehicles. 
• Use Designated Crosswalks and Obey Traffic Signals: Look left, right, and left again before crossing, and keep looking until you are safely on the other side. 
• Make Eye Contact to acknowledge and ensure the driver sees you. 

For Drivers:

• Be Alert: Always watch for pedestrians, especially at dawn, dusk, or in bad weather. 
• Be Patient: Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop well before the crosswalk so other drivers can also see the pedestrians. 
• Always Look for and Yield to Pedestrians at crosswalks when you have a green light to turn or if right turns are allowed at red lights as indicated by local traffic laws.
• Be Vigilant While Making Turns and Backing Up: Be extra cautious around cars that are turning or backing up, as pedestrians can be hidden from view. 
• Obey Speed Limits and Stop Signs: Drive within posted speed limits, come to a complete stop at stop signs, and slowdown in school zones, residential, and commercial areas.
