Pedestrians

• Be predictable. Do not make decisions that place you in the path of oncoming traffic.
• Cross only at traffic signals, crosswalks, and stop signs on busy roads.
• Look all ways before crossing. Never cross unless it is safe to do so.
• Walk, don't run, across intersections. Only cross when you have enough time to safely do so.
• At pedestrian crossovers, push the button to activate the flashing yellow light and point to indicate your intention to cross.
• Try to make eye contact with drivers before stepping off the curb. Just because you see the car doesn't mean that the driver sees you.
• Wait for vehicles to stop before crossing in front of them. Cars take longer to stop than you think.
• Keep aware of traffic until you safely reach the other side.
