Safety Tips
- Always
cross at corners, within
marked crosswalks where
available.
- If crossing in other
locations, yield the
right of way to vehicles.
Failure to obey the
law carries a $54 fine
(court costs additional;
C.39:4-32, 33)
- Look left, right and
left again before crossing.
Watch for turning cars.
- Never cross between
parked cars.
- Walk
on the sidewalk. If there
is no sidewalk available,
walk as far off the roadway
as possible.
- Always
walk against traffic.
- Obey traffic signals,
especially "Walk/Don't
Walk."
- Remain alert! Don't
assume that cars are
going to stop. Make eye
contact with the driver
to make sure they see
you.
- Don't talk on a cell
phone or wear earphones
when crossing the street.
- Wear bright or reflective
clothing or shoes when
walking at night. Avoid
dark clothes; drivers
can't avoid what they
can't see.
- Stay sober. Walking
while impaired greatly
increases your chances
of being struck. Take
a cab, bus or use a
designated driver to
get home safe.
- Supervise and teach
your children about
safe walking. Remember
that children under the
age of nine often lack
the judgment to make
safe choices when dealing
with traffic. Their
size also makes them
difficult to see.
