Road Safety Reminder for the Week
 

Know What is at Your Side

Any time you come to a place where people may cross or enter your path or a line of traffic meets another, you should look to the left and right sides of your vehicle to make sure no one is coming. Always look to each side of your vehicle at intersections and crosswalks.

At intersections:

  • Look both ways even if other traffic has a red traffic signal light or a stop sign
    • Look to the left first, since vehicles coming from the left are closer to you than vehicles coming from the right.
    • Look to the right.
    • Take one more look to the left in case there is a pedestrian, bicyclist, or vehicle you did not see the first time.
  • Do not rely on traffic signal lights. Some drivers do not obey traffic signal lights. Before you enter an intersection, look left, right, and ahead for approaching traffic.
