In our community, ensuring crosswalk safety is essential for protecting everyone who lives and visits Bridgeland. Crosswalks play a crucial role in safe pedestrian movement, especially in busy areas where families, children, and seniors are active. By keeping our crosswalks safe, we can prevent accidents and save lives, making Bridgeland a better place for everyone.
We’ve created a video to highlight important crosswalk safety tips and how we can all contribute:
For Pedestrians:
- Use Designated Crosswalks: Always cross at crosswalks or intersections where drivers expect pedestrians.
- Look Both Ways: Make sure no vehicles are coming before stepping onto the crosswalk.
- Don’t Cross Intersections Diagonally: Cross horizontally to the other side, and then again to reach your destination.
- Stay Alert: Avoid distractions such as texting or listening to music while crossing.
For Drivers:
- Slow Down: Reduce speed near crosswalks, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Yield to Pedestrians: Always be prepared to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks.
- Avoid Distractions: Stay focused on the road and avoid using your phone while driving.
- Watch for Children: Be extra cautious in areas where children are likely to be crossing.
By following these tips and watching our video, you can help ensure that Bridgeland remains a safe and welcoming community for all.
