SAFETY TIPS
Below are a few safety tips to reduce the risk of being a victim of crime or accident when outdoors for fitness, walking to work or simply to and from your vehicle.
- Pay attention to your surroundings. Always be alert to who may be following you or a possible inattentive driver.
- Stay on the sidewalk. If no designated walking path is available, stay as close to the side of the road and walk facing the traffic flow.
- Always look both ways before crossing the street: This concept can safeguard you from serious injuries or even death from a traffic accident.
- Stay Sober. Walking while under the influence of alcohol increases your risk of injury to yourself or others.
- Wear highly visible clothing: Please do so especially during the morning, evening or night hours or in reduced visibility.
- Walk with a partner: Whenever possible, or at least tell somebody reliable which route you're taking and when you'll be back.
- Don't listen to a portable music player as you walk: This makes you look like an easier target and makes it hard to stay adequately aware of your surroundings.
