Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves will be holding a Community Forum together with the Council of East Meadow Community Organizations, Inc. (CEMCO) and Traffic Safety Coordinator Chris Mistron from the Nassau County Traffic and Safety Board to discuss traffic safety tips for drivers and pedestrians.
• 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
