Use Crosswalks

Crosswalks are designed for your safety.  If there is a crosswalk nearby, take the time and walk to it before crossing the street.

No Crosswalk?  Yield To Cars

If there is no crosswalk nearby, you may cross the street only when there is a safe gap in traffic.

Obey Pedestrian Signals

If a crosswalk has a pedestrian signal, it is illegal to start crossing when the signal says "Don't Walk."  Save $209.*

Don't Dart Out

Cars are required to yield only if the pedestrian gives the driver enough time to react.  So make sure there's room for the car to stop before stepping out.

No Sidewalk?  Walk Facing Traffic

If there isn't a sidewalk, walk on the left side of the road facing oncoming traffic.

Wear Bright Clothing

Reflective clothing will help you to be seen, especially at night.
