“A little” is not enough! Increase and MAXIMIZE your visibility when walking at night by carrying a flashlight and wearing light or reflective clothing. Cross streets at a designated crosswalk or intersection whenever possible. Walk on a sidewalk or path instead of the road. Walk on the shoulder facing traffic if a sidewalk or path is not available.

As motorists, it’s important to know that children’s eyesight is still developing, and that they are more likely to act impulsively. If you see a child walking near the road or in a parking lot, don’t assume they can see you right away. Be aware of your surroundings and always be ready to brake for someone’s safety!

Mixing low speeds and high speeds in the same roadway is a recipe for serious crashes. With very few exceptions, interstate highways are only for motor vehicles.
Make the driver’s seat a No Cell Zone! Put devices in ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode to avoid the urge to check notifications on the road, or let a trusted passenger handle messages, music, or navigation for you!
