If you walk early in the morning or at night, you might be walking in the dark. 

Here are some tips to stay safe:

  • Wear a reflective or lighted vest
  • Wear bright colors instead of dark ones
  • Carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp
  • Walk with a buddy and use a route with other walkers
  • Walk on a sidewalk or path, not in the road
  • Face traffic so you can see what is coming
  • Don't assume drivers see you. Use caution when crossing the street
  • Avoid distractions like using your phone
