What are the most important ways to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety?
Drivers:
Watch out for bicycles! Look before turning or parking, before opening your doors, and when pulling out onto a street. Yield to pedestrians when turning, even when you have a green light. Yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk without a signal.
Cyclists:
Watch out for pedestrians! Remember that motorists and cyclists share the road and are subject to the same laws. It is dangerous and illegal to ride a bicycle against traffic or the wrong way on a one-way street. Stop at red lights and stop signs.
Pedestrians:
Use marked crosswalks, do not step out from between parked cars. At traffic signals, wait for the walk light.
