Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Tips

Bike Tower Pic

Look both ways before you cross in the crosswalk, and keep looking as you cross.
Do not assume that because you can see the driver, the driver can see you or will automatically stop for you.
Wear bright reflective clothing at night, in the evening, in the early morning hours, and during inclement weather.
Learn the rules of the road and obey all traffic laws.
Check for traffic. Always be aware of the traffic around you.
If crossing in a crosswalk, bicyclists must come to a complete stop and look both ways before proceeding through the crosswalk.
Protect your head. Wear a helmet.

BE ALERT, AWARE, AND RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR COMMUNITY!
