Cross Smart
Use marked crosswalks, obey signals, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping off the curb. Turning vehicles are a leading danger even when you have the right of way.
Stay Visible
At night and in bad weather, light or reflective clothing helps. Distraction — by phones, on foot or behind the wheel — contributes to many crashes.
Know Your Rights
If you are struck, remember that no-fault benefits may cover you and that drivers owe pedestrians a duty to yield. Get the police report and medical care.
