Halloween Weekend AND the end of Daylight Saving Time has all of us worn out. Who planned this?!🫠

BUT just because this is the most "Monday" Monday ever does not mean you should drive drowsy! When you are tired and get behind the wheel, you are much more likely to end up in a crash.

Keep yourself and others safe on the road by putting sleep first and driving only when alert and refreshed.

As the days grow shorter and visibility decreases, MDOT wants to remind drivers of the importance of slowing down and watching out for pedestrians. Any person on foot, walking, running, jogging, hiking, sitting or lying down is considered a pedestrian. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 7,080 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2024. Of these, 76% happened after sunset. 🌇

Please keep pedestrian safety in mind this Halloween weekend, as many children and their guardians will be out trick-or-treating. 🎃
