Tip Of The Day | Pedestrian Safety | Port Orange Personal Injury Lawyer

The American College of Emergency Physicians Foundation offers these safety tips for walking in traffic:

1. Walk on the Sidewalk

• Stay on the sidewalk and crosswalks. Avoid walking in traffic where there are no sidewalks or crosswalks. If you have to walk on a road that does not have sidewalks, walk facing traffic.

2. Cross at Intersections

• Most people are hit by cars when they cross the road at places other than intersections.

3. Look left, right, and left for traffic

• Stop at the curb and look left, right, and left again for traffic. Stopping at the curb signals drivers that you intend to cross. Cross in marked crosswalks and obey the signal.
