Winter Walking to School – Walking to school can be challenging when sidewalks haven’t been plowed, but there are steps you can take to stay safe:
-
Wear Bright Clothing: Make sure you’re visible to drivers by wearing bright or reflective clothing.
-
Walk Facing Traffic: If you have to walk on the road, always walk facing oncoming traffic so you can see and react to vehicles.
-
Use Caution at Crossings: Be extra careful when crossing streets. Look both ways and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
-
Stay Alert: Avoid distractions like phones or headphones. Stay aware of your surroundings.
Walk with a Buddy: If possible, walk with a friend or in a group for added safety.
