Top 10 Smart Moves


 
 
      Motorists...

  1. Pay attention. Pedestrians and cyclists can be anywhere, anytime and hard to see.

  2. Slow down at intersections and crosswalks (even if it’s not marked); be prepared to stop.

  3. Never overtake or pass vehicles that are stopped for pedestrians and cyclists.


    Pedestrians...

  4. Be predictable. Stay off freeways and use sidewalks where provided and always cross or enter streets where it’s legal to do so; understand and follow all traffic signals.

  5. Where no sidewalks are provided, it’s usually safer to walk facing the road traffic. 

  6. Be visible at night. Dress in light colors and wear reflective clothing; carry a flashlight.


    Cyclists...

  7. Wear a properly sized and fitted helmet along with reflective clothing, use lights at night. 

  8. Obey traffic laws: ride on the right, signal lane changes and turns.

  9. Ride no more than two abreast in a lane.


    All...

  10. Alcohol and drugs impair your ability to walk, bike and drive safely!
