Dealing With Traffic
If
you must walk in the street, walk against the flow of traffic and as close to the curb as
you can.
Before
you step off the curb, make sure oncoming cars and trucks have come to a complete stop.
Due
to poor road conditions, motorists may not be able to stop at traffic signals or slow down
for pedestrians who have the right of way.
Be on the lookout for vehicles that may
have lost traction and are slipping toward you. Be aware that approaching vehicles
may not be able to stop at crosswalks or traffic signals.
Streets
and parking lots may be temporarily blocked for snow removal operations. It is
imperative that drivers yield to snow-removal equipment during these times.
