“A little” is not enough! Increase and MAXIMIZE your visibility when walking at night by carrying a flashlight and wearing light or reflective clothing. Cross streets at a designated crosswalk or intersection whenever possible. Walk on a sidewalk or path instead of the road. Walk on the shoulder facing traffic if a sidewalk or path is not available.

As motorists, it’s important to know that children’s eyesight is still developing, and that they are more likely to act impulsively. If you see a child walking near the road or in a parking lot, don’t assume they can see you right away. Be aware of your surroundings and always be ready to brake for someone’s safety!

Remember these three things: — Children and pets aren’t safe alone in a vehicle unattended. — Habits are effective!
