Safety Tips: Pedestrians

Teach children the following pedestrian safety rules:

• Do not cross the street alone if younger than age 10.
• Never play in the road.
• Always try to walk on paths or sidewalks. If there are no paths or sidewalks, walk facing road traffic.
• Look both ways for danger before and while crossing the street.
• Walk—do not run—into the street.
• Dress in bright colors or wear reflective materials so drivers can easily see you.
