Pedestrian Safety and Roadway Awareness
Pedestrian accidents often occur when people are walking near intersections, driveways, or along roads with limited visibility. Even when walking pets, pedestrians are vulnerable to vehicle collisions, particularly after dark or in low-light conditions.
Drivers are reminded to watch for pedestrians, slow down near intersections, and anticipate sudden movements, while pedestrians should stay visible, use sidewalks when available, and remain alert to traffic around them.
