There are some easy steps you can take to avoid being hit while walking. Pedestrian injuries can happen on sidewalks, streets, and at crosswalks. They can happen where you live, work, or play. Practice safety while walking by doing the following:

• Cross at protected crosswalks.
• Wear bright reflective clothing.
• Take your earbuds out!
• Walk on sidewalks instead of the street or road.
• Don’t drink or do drugs while walking in public.
