Pedestrian safety is all about making the right decisions – like crossing at crosswalks where drivers are most likely to see you. Take a virtual walk with “Del” and help him make the right choices on his journey across the state! https://bit.ly/3mfW9iq !

If your Halloween includes a party, don’t ghost safety! Plan a sober ride before any drinking begins. Check out our tool, When You Drive Drunk You’re Not All There,” to see how significantly alcohol impacts driving. https://bit.ly/4BslmvO !

The best Halloween costumes are the ones drivers can see. Be sure to carry a flashlight when treat-or-tricking, and for greatest safety, wear a bright costume. See which colors drivers can see best at night. https://bit.ly/3mfW9iq

Great reminder from our neighbors at the Maryland State Highway Administration! 🚨 Look out for roadside work crews, emergency response vehicles, and stranded vehicles with flashing hazard lights.

Under Delaware’s Move Over Law, drivers must move over one lane when safe to do so. If they cannot safely move over, they must slow down by at least 20 mph below the posted speed limit when the limit is 50 mph or higher.

When you plan a sober ride before any drinking begins, you make sure the worst never happens. Friends keep each other safe by choosing a designated driver and making sure anyone under the influence doesn’t drive. See more consequences of driving impaired. https://bit.ly/4ikhrZc !

Your decision to speed affects everyone on the road because the faster you go, the greater the risk of a serious crash. Check out our Crash-O-Meter to see the damage sustained by a vehicle crashing at increasing speeds. https://bit.ly/3Uid1Kn !

As the days grow shorter, pedestrians walk in darker conditions. Look closely for them as you drive – both in crosswalks and places where they may surprise you. Check out our calculator to see how long it takes to stop a vehicle. https://bit.ly/3mfW9iq !

Cannabis affects your driving even when you think you’re fine. While adult-use and medical ma*****na are legal, driving high is not. Avoid a DUI by learning the laws of cannabis and driving. Get the lowdown here. https://bit.ly/4yWMS38 !

The changing leaves are beautiful, but they can be dangerous, too. Wet leaves can create slippery patches on the road, reducing tire traction and hiding potholes. Always follow the speed limit and use caution on fall roads! See the statistics on speeding in Delaware. https://bit.ly/4ei0Fsw !
