October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, and roadway safety is a shared responsibility for everyone in our community - whether you are behind the wheel or walking.

Drivers – look twice for pedestrians, especially at night and around crosswalks.

Pedestrians – Use designated crosswalks, stay alert, and make yourself visible.
