The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like to remind everyone that pedestrian safety is for all ages. It is the responsibility of both driver and pedestrian to ensure each other’s safety.
As a pedestrian: cross at marked crosswalks or traffic lights, make sure drivers see you before you cross and only cross when all traffic has come to a complete stop.
As a motorist: be patient, especially for those who may require more time to cross the road, always look for pedestrians especially when turning, stay alert and slow down on residential streets and in school zones.
