Rules of the Road

 

How to avoid a Running Tragedy

Don’t assume a driver sees you.  In fact, imagine that a driver can’t see you.

Run against traffic so as to view and react to any mistakes an advancing motorist may make.

At a stop sign or light, wait for the driver to wave you through, then acknowledge with your own wave.

Allow at least three feet between you and a passing vehicle.

Be prepared to jump onto the sidewalk or shoulder of the road.

Use hand signals to show which way you plan to turn.

Respect drivers’ right to the road.

Run with proper ID, and carry a cell phone with emergency contacts taped to its back.
