Where to Walk
Walk
on sidewalks if possible.
If
sidewalks are covered in snow and ice, one option is to walk along their grassy edges for
traction.
If
you must walk in the street, walk against the flow of traffic and as close to the
curb as you can.
Taking
shortcuts through areas where snow and ice removal is not feasible can be hazardous.
Avoid areas where there is a danger of
falling ice.
As if there wasn't enough danger of
falling on ice, you must be aware of ice that may fall on you!
Icicles
hanging from eaves, sheets of ice on sloping roofs, and tree branches bearing the
additional weight of ice are things you need to look out for. They can fall quickly
and silently.
