Road Safety

Last Thursday, we made a list of ways to stay safe on the road for drivers and pedestrians when it's dark and rainy.

Drivers - When you are driving:

• Don't talk on the phone
• Don't eat or drink
• Don't drink (alcohol) and drive
• Don't put on makeup
• Don't speed

Pedestrians - When you are crossing the street:

• Don't text on your cell phone
• Don't listen to loud music with headphones or earbuds in your ears
• Make sure you can see clearly. Don't wear hoodies that cover your eyes and face
• Wear bright or reflective clothing
• Use a flashlight or a bright light (there are phone apps for this) at night
• Make eye contact with drivers, so you know they see you.
