Safest Route Home

1. Where no walking area exists, walk on the left side of the roadway facing oncoming traffic to and from school.
2. Before crossing any street, stop and look both ways for oncoming traffic.
3. Where available, cross at marked crosswalks, and walk, do not run, while in the crosswalk area.
4. When crossing at a traffic signal, be sure to press the pedestrian walk button if available, and wait for signal indication and traffic to stop before entering the street. Flashing "Don't Walk" means do not begin to walk: however, if you are already crossing the street, you may continue walking. After the "Walk" signal, there is adequate time to allow the average pedestrian to continue walking across the street before oncoming traffic receives a green light.
5. Cross at safe corners, even if you must walk further.
6. Watch for turning cars.
7. Do not walk between parked cars.
8. Refuse to ride with strangers.
9. Go directly from home to school or from school to home by the recommended route.
