Safety

  • If you have to walk on roads where there’s no sidewalk, always walk against traffic. Try to stay off the road as much as possible.

  • When crossing the street, always look left, then right, then left again. Cars will approach on the left first. If there are parked cars blocking your view, go to the nearest corner cross walk.

Health benefits - Why Walk?

It's Good For You
Walking is good exercise for your heart, lungs, legs and mind .It isproductive outdoors time.

It's Good For the Environment
Pedestrians don't give off exhaust fumes or emmissions that clog our air. In fact, good pedestrian routes have lots of trees, shrubs and flowers - things that make the planet healthier.

It's Good For Your Neighborhood
Pedestrian presence leads to safer streets and creates a more vibrant economic community. Plus you get to meet your neighbors!

It's Simple and It's Cheap
No traffic troubles or searches for parking spots. You won't have to pay for gas, parking or insurance. All you need are comfortable shoes, and perhaps an umbrella.
