🍁 Fall festival season is officially here! 🍁

As the leaves change and we head into our favorite fall events—from high school football games to Halloween festivities—our streets are getting a lot busier. With shorter days and more families out walking, safety is a shared responsibility. We’re asking everyone to do their part to keep our community safe.

🚗 Drivers: Slow down in residential areas. Twilight makes it much harder to see pedestrians, and kids can move unpredictably during neighborhood events. Children excited for fall festivals or trick-or-treating can unexpectedly dart out from between parked cars. Always yield to pedestrians. Turn your headlights on early! Put down the phone. If your fall plans involve alcohol, always designate a driver or use a rideshare service.

🚶 Pedestrians: Stay bright! Use a flashlight after dark, wear reflective clothing, and always cross at designated intersections. Never assume a car sees you—make eye contact before stepping off the curb.Let’s keep our streets safe for all ages this autumn. Share this post to spread the word!
