Do not play alone, especially near a street or the driveway.

Make sure that you play at least 200 feet from any dangerous area (such as a street, driveway, a vacant lot, or water). If it is within 200 feet, the play area should be fenced.


Obey the school safety patrol, crossing guard, or police officer when walking near a school.

Always cross streets at a corner, use crosswalks (whenever possible), and obey the traffic signals. Check for approaching vehicles before crossing even with the green light or "walk" sign on.

Be sure to look left-right-left again before crossing a street and to keep looking as you cross.

Always walk facing on-coming traffic if no sidewalks
are available.

Wear light-colored clothing if walking at dawn, at dusk, or after dark. Even better, wear reflective tape (placed diagonally across the back) and carry a flashlight.

Do not drink alcohol and walk near traffic.
