Always walk defensively, even when you have the right of way. While drivers are required to obey pedestrian crossing signals and stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, they might not see you. Pedestrians are the vulnerable road users who are killed or injured when struck by a careless driver breaking the law. If they don’t make eye contact with you, there’s a good chance they haven’t noticed you, so you shouldn’t step into their path. If you must walk in the road, walk against traffic so that you can always see the vehicles coming. Be sure to obey pedestrian crossing signals: push the button and wait for the walk! Help drivers see you by wearing bright or light-colored clothes, and reflective items at night. It’s tempting to pass the time on a walk by looking at your cell phone but it’s safer to pay attention to your surroundings, especially when crossing the street or walking near traffic.Īlways follow traffic rules and cross at designated pedestrian crossings wherever possible. You need to look up, look out, and stay alert. Walk Smart, Bike Smart, Drive Smart Walk Smart
