Stay Alert, Stay Safe, Pedestrian Safety Matters

Every year, thousands of pedestrians are injured or killed in traffic accidents. Whether you’re walking to school, work, or just taking a stroll, it’s important to stay alert. Always use crosswalks, obey traffic signals, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing. Drivers—slow down and stay focused, especially in busy areas. One moment of distraction can change a life forever.

Drivers and pedestrians should remain alert in areas with demonstrations or heavy foot traffic. Slowing down and staying aware of surroundings can help prevent serious injuries in crowded urban settings.
