🚶 October is National Pedestrian Safety Month. This week’s reminder: speed matters.
As vehicle speeds rise, so does a pedestrian’s risk of death if struck. Slowing down can help save a life.
✅ Follow the speed limit, especially in school zones and neighborhoods.
✅ Slow down near crosswalks and yield to pedestrians.
✅ Watch carefully for people walking, especially at night or in bad weather.
Everyone is a pedestrian. Let’s help everyone get home safely.
