Careful when stepping out from between parked cars!
TAKE OFF THOSE HEADPHONES! YOU CAN’T HEAR WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND YOU!

3. USE Crosswalks when available. Drivers EXPECT to see you there!
CROSSWALK SIGNALS
Start walking when you see the “man” walking on the sign. NEVER RUN – you could trip & fall! WALK YOUR BIKE in the crosswalk too!
STOP
WALK
USE Crosswalks when available. Drivers EXPECT to see you there!
If the red hand starts flashing while you are in the crosswalk…don’t worry…just keep walking at a normal pace! DON’T RUN! You have plenty of time!

4. THIS COULD GET CONFUSING…
When you are riding your BIKE…you should always ride in the SAME DIRECTION AS TRAFFIC!
SEE THE DIFFERENCE?!
If there is no sidewalk where you are WALKING… you should always walk in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC (against it).
