1.Walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If one isn’t available, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible.2.Keep alert at all times; don’t be distracted by electronic devices that take your eyes (and ears) off the road.3.Whenever possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections, where drivers expect pedestrians, and look for cars in all directions, including those turning. If neither are available, locate a well-lit area where you have the best view of traffic. Wait for a gap in traffic that allows enough time to cross safely and watch for traffic as you cross.4.Be visible at all times. Wear bright clothing during the day, and wear reflective materials or use a flashlight at night. Never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact with drivers as they approach to make sure you are seen.5.Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways, or backing up in parking lots.
