Be Safety Smart Pedestrians!
- Always look left, right, then left again before crossing a street. Only cross at a corner, green light, or walk sign.
- Wear bright colored clothing or reflective clothes when it is dark, snowing, rainy, or foggy.
- Find an adult who can help you get a ball, toy, or pet out of the street and traffic.
- Meet friends in parks, community centers, and school or church playgrounds to play. Avoid streets, roads, bridges, mall parking lots, railroad crossings, construction sites, or closed areas.
- Obey traffic lights and signs. Traffic lights and traffic signs tell you when it is safe and not safe to travel.
- Always walk on sidewalks when available. Avoid walking on curbs or in the street.
- Most safety experts recommend to walk facing traffic, if sidewalks are not available. Stay as far as possible to the left side to be seen by approaching traffic.
