Crosswalk safety tips

Be alert when crossing the street. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, a pedestrian is killed or injured in a traffic accident every seven minutes.

To keep yourself and your loved ones safe on the roads and crosswalks, follow these guidelines:

•Before crossing, stop at the curb before going
•Look left-right-left and then begin crossing
•Continue to check for traffic as you cross
•Wait for the WALK signal
•If you see a DON’T WALK signal, wait until the next WALK signal
•Be careful to watch for left-turning vehicles if you have a WALK signal
•Make eye contact with drivers to make sure they see you
