Hunterdon Pedestrian Safety Awareness Month: “Be Safe, Know your Space”
This years message, “Be Safe: Know your Space”, reminds pedestrians that when there are no sidewalks present, they should walk/run facing traffic.
Motorists:
* Watch for pedestrians as you would watch for wildlife along side of the road.
* Give pedestrians walking along the side of the road about 3 feet of clearance
* Be particularly aware in the early morning hours and in the evening when darkness, sun glare, or shadows can impede vision
* Stop and stay stopped for pedestrians in marked crosswalks (it’s the law)
* Avoid distractions while driving (cell phone, texting, eating)
Pedestrians:
* Use marked crosswalks and sidewalks. Do not jay-walk
* Stop and look left, right and left again before crossing
* Where there is no sidewalk, walk FACING traffic.
* Make eye contact with drivers
* When using earphones, remove one earbud so that you can hear oncoming cars.
* Avoid distractions such as texting or talking on your cell phone
* Wear hi-visibility clothing (hi-viz yellow) and reflectives
