Have you ever had someone step into the street while staring at their phone, forcing you to slam on your brakes? ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ Or maybe you've been walking while texting and suddenly heard the screech of tires nearby?

That's distracted walking, and it can have tragic consequences. ๐Ÿšจ

Pedestrian fatalities have been increasing nationwide, and teens are among the highest-risk groups. With school out for the summer and more children spending time outdoors, now is the perfect time to remind everyone about pedestrian safety.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Safety Tips for Walkers:
๐Ÿ“ต Never walk while texting or talking on your phone.

๐Ÿ“ If you need to send a text, stop walking and move to a safe location on the sidewalk.

๐Ÿšฆ Never cross the street while using an electronic device.

๐ŸŽง Avoid walking with headphones in both ears so you can hear traffic and warning signals.

๐Ÿ‘€ Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.

๐Ÿšถ Always use sidewalks when available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing oncoming traffic.

โฌ…๏ธโžก๏ธโฌ…๏ธ Look left, right, and left again before crossing the street.

๐Ÿšธ Cross only at designated crosswalks whenever possible.

๐Ÿš— Drivers, We Need Your Help Too!

Please stay alert for pedestrians, bicyclists, and children playing near roadways. One glance at a text message behind the wheel can change lives forever.

Place your phone, purse, briefcase, lunch, ID badge, or even a shoe next to your child so you'll have to look in the back before leaving the vehicle.

If you see a child alone in a vehicle, call 911 immediately. Every second counts.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ On a warm day, the temperature inside a vehicle can rise to 125ยฐF in just minutes, even with the windows cracked. Children's bodies heat up 3โ€“5 times faster than adults, making them especially vulnerable to heatstroke.

โค๏ธ This tragedy is preventable. Together, we can help stop it from happening again.
