National Safety Council | Build Better Habits, Keep Pedestrians Safe

Описание: All of us walk at some point every day. We count our steps as we exercise. We hustle through the parking lot on the way to-and-from the grocery store. We share the road with motorists. It is important to consider safety for ourselves and others.

In recent years, pedestrian crash injuries and fatalities have climbed to historically high levels. Here are some things you can do to swing the pendulum back toward safety:

As a motorist:
•Slow down: Drive at safe speeds and drive distraction-free
•Use extra caution when driving at night or during inclement weather
•Before backing, take a 360-degree walk around your vehicle to look for children and low-lying objects

As a pedestrian:
•Walk on sidewalks and cross streets in crosswalks.
•Never assume a driver sees you. Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways or backing up in parking lots.
•Be visible to drivers. Wear bright clothing or reflective gear, especially at night. Try to stay in well-lit areas.

We start – and end – every trip as a pedestrian. Let’s put our best foot forward.
