• Be mindful when driving in school and playground zones, especially in the early mornings or late afternoons. Drive the speed limit, to ensure you are able to brake and come to a stop quickly if needed.
• Never pass vehicles that are stopped at a crosswalk. There may be pedestrians crossing that you cannot see.
• Do not assume pedestrians see you. Always make eye contact before turning at an intersection and ensure that pedestrians have cleared the crosswalk before you enter it.
• Marked or unmarked, crosswalks exist at all intersections. Drivers must stop at crosswalks when pedestrians are crossing.

For pedestrians:

• Follow the rules of the road and obey all posted signs and signals.
• Always try to cross streets at marked crosswalks. If a crosswalk is not available, locate a well-lit area where you have the best view of traffic, and only cross when it’s safe to do so.
• Make sure that you are visible to motorists and that all vehicles have stopped before you enter a crosswalk.
• If you are walking when it is dark out or visibility is low, consider wearing high-visibility gear or clothing.
• If there is no sidewalk available, and you have to walk on a street, make sure to walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible.
