Pedestrian Safety: It’s No Accident! 🚶♂️🛑
In the blink of an eye, a simple walk through White Plains, New York City, or Long Island can change everything. At LFK Law Practice, P.C., we see the devastating impact of these moments every day. But here is the truth: Safety is a shared responsibility.
Whether you’re behind the wheel or on your own two feet, let's keep our community safe with these essential tips!
🚶 FOR THE PEDESTRIAN: BE SEEN!
Visibility is your best defense. Stay alert and stay safe:
Cross at the lines: Always use marked crosswalks and intersections.
Wait for the signal: Use the pedestrian pushbutton and wait for the light.
The "Look Twice" Rule: Look left, right, left again, and over your shoulder for turning vehicles.
Sidewalk Safety: Always use sidewalks; if there are none, walk facing traffic so you can see drivers and they can see you.
Phones Down: Pay attention and don’t text while crossing.
Make Eye Contact: Confirm the driver sees you before stepping into the street.
Nighttime Awareness: Wear light-colored or reflective clothing after dark or in bad weather.
Large Vehicles: Don't step suddenly in front of traffic; buses and trucks take much longer to stop.
🚗 FOR THE DRIVER: SEE!
You are operating a powerful machine—your vigilance saves lives:
Yielding is the Law: You must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and intersections.
Clear the Crosswalk: Don’t block the path when stopping at intersections.
Slow Down: Obey all posted speed limits.
Caution Zones: Take extra care around schools, playgrounds, and neighborhoods.
Turning Safety: Look out for pedestrians, especially when turning on a green light or making a "right turn on red".
Stop for Others: If a vehicle is stopped, be careful—they might be letting a pedestrian cross that you can't see yet.
No Distractions: Pay attention—do not text and drive.
