How can you protect yourself and others when driving or walking?
Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks or crossing at intersections, but pedestrians must give drivers enough time to stop safely. Here's what else you can do:

  • Be Alert. Whether driving or walking, don't assume that others see you.
  • Slow down. A few extra seconds can help save a life--maybe your own.
  • Wait for the intersection to clear, watching for motor vehicles and bicycles before stepping off the curb.
  • When walking at night, wear reflective or light-colored clothing.

Teach by example. Children may not understand the risks and are especially vulnerable. Show them how to be safe.

The SFMTA has distributed hundreds of reflective accessories, at schools and senior centers.
