TOP TIPS FOR KEEPING CROSSWALKS SAFE Help keep our community safe by yielding to pedestrians crossing the street on their way to school, work or wherever they’re going. A vigilant driver is a safe driver.
DRIVERS
PEDESTRIANS
Yield the right-of-way. • When traffic signals are not in place or not working, yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing within a crosswalk. • Do not pass a vehicle that is stopped. • Drivers cannot park within 20 feet of a crosswalk. • Take extra care when you see a child or anyone obviously confused or incapacitated.
Obey traffic signs and signals. • Walk when the “Walk” light or symbol is showing a steady green or white and traffic is clear. Don’t enter the roadway if the “Don’t Walk” indicator is flashing red. If you’re already in the crosswalk, continue to the nearest median or curb. • Once the red light is a constant red, don’t cross or enter the crosswalk. • Watch for traffic before entering the road. • Don’t leave a curb or other place of safety and ride, walk, or run into the path of a moving vehicle. Pedestrians must allow vehicles a reasonable time to stop before entering a crosswalk.
Stay focused. • Eliminate distractions; remain focused on driving. • It is especially important to stay focused in school and construction zones. Many traffic violation fines are doubled in these special areas.
