Safety Tips for Drivers and Pedestrians Near Busy Roads
Pedestrians and bicyclists face increased risks when traveling along roads with frequent vehicle traffic. Drivers should watch for people near intersections, businesses, sidewalks, and road shoulders. Keeping a safe speed and staying alert can give drivers more time to react.
Pedestrians and bicyclists can also reduce risks by using designated crossings or bike paths when available. Wearing visible clothing and staying aware of nearby traffic can improve visibility, especially around busy commercial areas.
