Safety Tips

Pedestrian Safety

Teach children the following pedestrian safety rules:

  • Do not cross the street alone if you're younger than age 10.
  • Never play in the road.
  • Always try to walk on paths or sidewalks. If there are no sidewalks or paths, walk facing road traffic.
  • Look both ways for danger before and while crossing the street.
  • Walk, do not run, into the street.
  • Dress in bright colors or wear retroreflective materials so drivers can easily see you.
