Winter pedestrian safety | Steers Insurance

Try to stay off your phone, especially when using crosswalks;
Be visible to drivers day and night by wearing bright, reflective items. Add a reflective sticker or patch to your jacket and bag;
Wear proper and well-maintained footwear to reduce your risk of falling on slippery surfaces;
Give yourself more time when traveling during the winter, avoid having to walk quickly or run on slippery sidewalks and roads;
Don’t jaywalk. Use clearly marked crosswalks and intersections with traffic lights;
Make eye contact with drivers before stepping off the curb – slippery road conditions means it may take drivers longer than usual to stop. Wait until vehicles have come to a complete stop before crossing the street.
