• Every year in New York City and throughout the
  state, thousands of pedestrians are injured or
  killed in motor vehicle accidents.
• Here are some safety tips pedestrians can follow
  to ensure their safety while walking on the
  street

3

• Wear bright-colored clothing during the day and
  light-colored or reflective clothing at night.
• Refrain from walking if you are under the
  influence.

4

• Familiarize yourself with the traffic signals,
  signs and rules in the area where you are
  walking.
• Be aware of the rules that vehicles must follow
  so that you are able to properly anticipate what
  motorists may do, thereby reducing the chance of
  being struck by a vehicle.

5

• Avoid distractions such as wearing headphones,
  talking on the phone or looking down at your
  phone while walking.

6

• Always walk on the sidewalk. If the sidewalk is
  unavailable, make sure to walk on the far side of
  the road.
• Always use crosswalks when crossing the street.
  If crosswalks are unavailable, find a well-lit
  spot on the road and wait for a long gap in
  traffic to walk safely across the street.
