Presentation transcript:

PEDESTRIAN + CROSSWALK = STOP! even if the pedestrian is not in your lane.

YOU CANNOT SEE AROUND CORNERS PEOPLE RUN TO CROSS STREETS. WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS AT ALL TIMES!

TURNING BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF PEDESTRIANS IN A CROSSWALK You must stay stopped until the pedestrian has finished crossing the side of the road onto which you’re turning. They have the right of way. Never turn into a crosswalk when pedestrians are still using it. THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!!

BLOCKING THE CROSSWALK Always stop behind the crosswalk, not in it. Blocking the crosswalk with your vehicle forces pedestrians into moving traffic. If you find yourself stranded in crosswalk, DO NOT back the vehicle!! Wait until the light turns green, then when safe to do so (as you continue to look in all directions for pedestrians), slowly move ahead.

TURNING DRIVERS STOP, EVEN ON GREEN! Before turning right or left on a green light, STOP for pedestrians. They have the right of way.

PEOPLE DON’T ALWAYS CROSS….. ….when, why or where they are supposed to! Expect PEDESTRIANS at all times, ANYWHERE!!

BACKING AND PEDESTRIANS YOU CANT SEE A PERSON IN YOUR BLIND SPOT. GET OUT AND LOOK EVERY TIME BEFORE BACKING THE VEHICLE!

WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS….. ...CROSSING THE STREET FROM BETWEEN PARKED VEHICLES

A MOMENT’S WINDSHIELD GLARE… ….CAN CAUSE OBSTRUCTION OF A PEDESTRIAN. USE CAUTION!!

BEFORE YOU MOVE THE VEHICLE… CHECK ALL BLIND SPOTS FOR PEDESTRIANS!!!
