Pedestrians and drivers need to work together to make walking safe, convenient, comfortable, and fun for people of all ages and abilities.
Tips for pedestrians in winter months
-
Being aware of our surroundings is key – although hoods, hats and umbrellas are necessary in our climate, it is important you have good visibility.
-
Always make eye contact with approaching drivers and cyclists before crossing the road.
-
Wear bright reflective clothing at night or during poor visibility. There are even reflective items for your pets.
-
Don’t “jaywalk”. Cross at crosswalks and obey traffic signals.
Pay attention and don’t text while walking.
