TIPS FOR SHARING THE ROAD

• Watch for pedestrians near the roadway

• Stop for pedestrians using crosswalks and intersections

• Slow down or stop for pedestrians when making turns

• Use care if another car slows/stops for a pedestrian

• Look for pedestrians walking in road without sidewalks

• Follow all signals, signs and stripes at crosswalks

• Take extra care driving near schools and playgrounds

• Never speed or park where pedestrians use crosswalks

• Share the road. It’s your responsibility to look out for others
