Public Safety Tips

Pedestrian Safety

Always follow these rules and be extra alert in bad weather conditions:

Cross only at corners so drivers can see you.
Always use a crosswalk when it is available. But remember, painted lines can't stop cars. Always look, left, right, left.
Cross only on the new green light so you have time to cross safely.
Use the push-button when possible and cross with the "walk" sign only.
When crossing, watch for cars that are turning left or right.
Never cross the street from between parked cars. Drivers can't see you.
Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic, if sidewalks are not provided so you can see oncoming cars.
Use a flashlight or wear or carry something reflective at night to help drivers see you.
