Safety Tips
A pedestrian ought to always walk on the pavement. If there's no pavement and you have to walk in the roads, you ought to walk facing traffic. You'll be able to see the traffic coming whenever you do this and move out of the way if you have to.
Dress in extremely colorful clothes. During the day vibrant colors mean a driver can better see you. Reflective clothes ought to be donned in the evening, such as shoes or jackets to reflect the car headlights of oncoming automobiles.
Cross streets at marked crosswalks.
- Always stop at the edge of the road or the curb.
- Stop and look left, after that right, next left again, before you walk into the road.
- If there's a vehicle coming let it pass and then repeat the entire process once more.
- If a vehicle is parked where you are crossing, make sure there's no driver in the vehicle. Move out to the edge of the vehicle and do the left, right and left again looking until it is clear of vehicles. Keep looking for cars whilst you are crossing, and bear in mind, walk. Don't run.
