National Pedestrian Safety Month

October is National Pedestrian Safety Month. Remember to follow these driving tips to keep roadways safe:

• Follow the speed limit, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic.

• Slow down at intersections. Be prepared to stop for people crossing or walking at marked and unmarked crosswalks.

• Use extra caution when driving at night or when driving conditions are less than optimal such as rain or fog.

• Avoid distractions such as using a mobile device, deep conversations with passengers or eating while driving. Keep your focus on the road.

• Drive sober.
