#PedestrianSafety is a two-way street. 🚦As drivers, the responsibility to slow down and yield rests heavily on us.🚗🛑 For pedestrians, waiting for the WALK signal and only crossing from corner to corner is critical to remain safe. 🚶 Whether you’re navigating a busy downtown or a quiet neighborhood, your awareness saves lives. 🔗Visit flhsmv.gov/pedestrian for more tips.

October is Pedestrian Safety Awareness Month. Whether we walk, roll or drive, road safety is a shared responsibility between pedestrians and motorists. Be vigilant and stay safe. MORE: ow.ly/u8Rt50ZTGfH

We’re throwing it back to show our OG Mustangs some love 💕🐎 The Florida Highway Patrol introduced the Fox Body Ford Mustang Special Service Package (SSP) vehicles in 1983 and patrolled Florida’s highways for 11 years before retirement. In 2025, our agency brought the famed model back with its V-8 powered Ford Mustang GT. Just a couple months ago, our 2023 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT brought home another America's Best-Looking Cruiser title for Florida! @America250FL #tbt #FHP

☀️In just 10 minutes, the inside of a vehicle can heat up by 20 degrees. 🥵With Florida temperatures very high in summer, leaving a child or pet in the car—even if parked in the shade or with windows cracked open—is extremely dangerous. A child’s body temperature can rise three to five times faster than an adult's. In fact, heatstroke in a vehicle can occur as low as 57° outside! 🚫NEVER leave your child or pet unattended in your vehicle. It’s deadly and against the law. Protect your kids and pets with these tips: -Account for all children exiting the vehicle so none are left inside. -Keep your vehicles locked in the driveway or garage. -Store keys out of reach so children can’t lock themselves in. 👀🔒 Look before you lock. Share this post to keep kids safe! #ChildSafety #HeatstrokePrevention
