Tips for Pedestrians
Some easy and simple ways to remain safe while taking a walk include:
- Use sidewalks when available.
- If there is no sidewalk, walk facing the traffic on the road.
- Always stay off freeways and out of restricted zones.
- Do not jaywalk. Only cross streets where it is legal to do so.
- Make it easier for drivers to see you by wearing light colors.
- Wear reflective materials and carry a flashlight if walking in the dark.
- Always be cautious. Do not assume a driver sees you or will yield to you.
- Do not take long walks when intoxicated. This can be highly dangerous.
- Use extra precaution when walking or crossing a high-speed or multi-lane road.
Unfortunately, being cautious cannot always protect you from other people’s reckless behaviors. If you have been harmed by a careless driver or other party, our Kenosha pedestrian accident lawyers are ready to fight for the compensation you need.
