With Pedestrian Safety Month in the rearview, it’s still time to focus on awareness, responsibility, and care for everyone who shares the road. With more people walking for exercise, commuting, or recreation, it’s essential for drivers to slow down, stay alert, and avoid distractions behind the wheel. Pedestrians can do their part by using designated crosswalks, staying visible at night, and putting phones away while walking. A few small actions can make a big difference in preventing accidents and saving lives.
Safety doesn’t end at the curb. Talk with family members about road awareness, reflective gear for evening walks, and safe routes to school or work. For communities, it’s a reminder to support better lighting, clear signage, and accessible sidewalks. By working together to make safety a daily habit, whether we’re walking, biking, or driving, we can help create safer streets and stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
