Always:

  • Be aware of your surroundings. Put your phone away while driving (its the law)!
  • Stop for pedestrians at crosswalks
  • Slow down and obey the speed limitThe probability of a pedestrian surviving a crash decreases exponentially as the speed of the vehicle increases.As your speed increases your field of vision shrinks. Driving slower is the easiest way to prevent crashes.
  • Stop at stop signs and look
  • When turning, yield to people walking and biking
  • Be careful when passing buses or stopped vehicles
  • Look for cyclists before opening your door
  • Allow at least 3 feet when passing cyclists
  • Come to a full stop for a blind pedestrian with a cane or guide dog
  • Drive with headlights on at night
  • Be cautious when backing out of driveways and leaving parking spots

Don’t:

  • Don’t drive while using a mobile device
  • Don’t honk, yell at, or crowd pedestrians or cyclists
  • Don’t wear earphones in both ears
