As the weather improves, many residents are enjoying outdoor walks more frequently. However, it's important to remember some safety guidelines, especially when walking or jogging on roads.
According to the Rules of the Road and the IIHS, pedestrians should walk against traffic while vehicles move with traffic. This not only aligns with proper protocol but also significantly reduces the risk of pedestrian accidents. Statistics show that only 0.08% of pedestrian fatalities involve individuals walking against traffic.
Let's prioritize safety and enjoy the pleasant weather responsibly. Stay safe out there!
