Pedestrian Safety

Yield to traffic when crossing the road.
Cross the road only at marked crosswalks. Pedestrians are required to use the sidewalk where it is available, rather than walking in the road.
If you must walk in the road, walk as far over on the shoulder as possible and walk facing traffic, not with it.
Pedestrians and bicycles are not allowed on interstate highways.
No sudden movement into traffic.
Hitchhiking is prohibited in the U.S. and is very dangerous.
Wear bright or reflective clothing - especially at night.
Do not use your cell phone while walking, except to talk.
