Walking safety

Pedestrians face a higher risk at signalized intersections:

• 89% of pedestrian collisions are at signalized intersections
• 56% of pedestrians who are hit by vehicles have the right of way
• 1 in 3 pedestrian collisions are caused by a turning vehicle

Whether driving or walking, stay alert at intersections. Before you enter a crosswalk, do the extra sec check:

1. Take an extra second to check the traffic signals
2. Look left, right and straight ahead to make sure the way is clear
3. Give everyone a safe journey - including you!

• 58% of those collisions occur in the crosswalk

Before you bike through an intersection, do the extra sec check:

• Take a second to check the traffic signals
• Look over your left shoulder and ahead for turning vehicles
• Continue to watch for vehicles as you ride through

Drivers, expect and respect cyclists at every intersection:

• Always look for cyclists before you turn left or right
• Always check your blind spot for bicycles before changing lanes
