Take charge of your own safety
THINK SAFE!
In the summer of 2007, Traffic and Right of Way Services produced a booklet to educate citizens about the importance of crosswalk safety.
It is the responsibility of every person on the road to use caution, obey the traffic signals and THINK SAFE.
The contents of the booklet can be navigated by following the links below. Please take the time to ready carefully, and share the information with friends and family. It could help save a life!

Crosswalk Safety - The Basics
Drivers and pedestrians share the responsibility of crosswalk safety.
Drivers can be easily distracted by many things, including cell phones, other passengers and visual clutter along our roadways.
DRIVERS - be especially careful when turning, and when passing vehicles that have stopped. It is illegal to pass a vehicle stopped for a passing pedestrian.
PEDESTRIANS - be smart. Pedestrians may have the right of way at crosswalks but are not protected from the damage that may be inflicted by an automobile.
