Look Twice, Save a Life This fall, whether you’re walking with the kids for trick-or-treating or driving through a crowded neighborhood during an event, pedestrian safety is everyone’s responsibility. The split second you take to look twice could save a life. Being mindful of your surroundings is essential as a driver or pedestrian, especially during a season with heavier foot traffic. From looking both ways before crossing the road or turning to using extra precaution as you back up, here are some tips to keep everyone safe on foot or behind the wheel. Simple Moves That Prevent Big Accidents for Pedestrians
DRIVEWAY DANGERS A car backing out of a driveway or parking space is one of the most dangerous scenarios for a pedestrian. Drivers have limited visibility, so it’s crucial not just to look left or right, but to do it twice. Behind the wheel, you need to be incredibly aware of your surroundings because a child or a bike might be behind you before you realize. In the morning, before you even get in the vehicle, take the long way. Walk behind your car before you get in the driver’s seat. If you’re on foot and a car is backing out or preparing to turn, stop and make sure the driver sees you. Tell your children to wait to cross until they make eye contact with the driver. This ensures the driver knows you are there. CROSSING CONSIDERATIONS As a pedestrian, limit your time on the road as much as possible to prevent unwanted accidents. The crosswalk is the best option if you need to cross the street. If there is no crosswalk where you are, choose somewhere well-lit and
look both ways before finding a good gap in traffic to move. Walk perpendicular to the road, not at an angle, because that is the shortest distance across the roadway. While you’re driving, slow down at crosswalks so you are prepared to make a stop. Yield to pedestrians and stop well enough back from the crosswalk to give other vehicles a view of the crossing pedestrians. Don’t pass cars stopped at a crosswalk; they may be waiting for people you cannot see to get across.
