Safety Tips for Walkers

• Avoid walking alone.

• Always walk facing traffic. Stay on the sidewalk or near the side of the road.

• Walk during daylight hours. Wear reflective clothing, carry a small flashlight and walk in well-lit areas if you must walk after dark.

• Carry identification and change for a phone call.

• Don't wear personal headphones. You need to hear traffic noises and the movements of others around you.

• Don't walk along highways or main commuting routes. Carbon monoxide levels are highest there.

• Leave a note or let someone know your route and when you expect to return.
