Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Tips
Biking and walking are great for the environment and for your health! It's a win-win. We recommend people walk and cycle as much as possible as a recreational activity and as a form of exercise. When doing so outside, it's important that you stay vigilant to other pedestrians and cyclists in order to stay safe. Take a look at these top safety tips to get started.
Pedestrian Safety Tips:
- Stay visible. Make sure you're visible to others when walking at all times. If they can't see you, then they don't know you're there! If you're going out when it's dark outside, have a flashlight or wear reflective clothing. Try to stick to well-lit areas.
- Stay alert. Always remain alert when walking! Avoid looking down at your phone or book, and keep your eyes up at all times. Never assume vehicles see you - try to make eye contact with the driver to ensure they are yielding to you.
- Stay watchful. Cross the street on designated crosswalks, obey all traffic signals, and keep an eye out for vehicles.
