Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility. Whether you’re driving, cycling or walking, pay attention, follow the rules of the road and look out for one another. A moment of inattention can have life-changing consequences. #PedestrianSafety

Pedestrian safety risks increase at this time of year. From September to November, the monthly average of pedestrian injury and fatal collisions is 41% higher than other months. Slow down, stay alert and look out for one another. #PedestrianSafety

With permanent daylight-saving time, darker fall and winter mornings mean pedestrians can be harder to see. Drivers: slow down, stay alert and yield at crosswalks. Pedestrians: follow signals, cross safely and make yourself visible. #PedestrianSafety

Always cross at intersections and crosswalks, especially in bad weather. Drivers may not have enough time and space to stop safely if you cross mid-block. #ABRoads #pedsafety

Be extra careful when approaching intersections and crosswalks during bad weather. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Pedestrian collisions are more likely during months of low light conditions, so use extra caution when there is low light, such as a late sunrise or early sunset.

Slow down and follow the speed limit when driving on residential streets and through school and playground zones. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #pedsafety #drivingtips

Pedestrians always have the right-of-way at an unmarked intersection or stop sign unless indicated by signage #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Making a turn? Watch out for pedestrians who may be crossing. Not stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk can have tragic consequences – it also carries a fine of $810 plus 4 demerit points #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety

Compared to the rest of the year, there are about 40 per cent more collisions involving pedestrians between September and November. Please use extra caution when approaching intersections. #ABRoads #DriveSafe #drivingtips #pedsafety
