CRASHES, SERIOUS INJURIES AND FATALITIES INVOLVING PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS ON CONNECTICUT ROADWAYS IN 2023.
SAFETY TIPS
For Pedestrians
Watch for cars backing up in parking lots and driveways.
For Drivers
You may cross the center line to pass a cyclist if it’s safe.
For Bicyclists
Always ride on the right in the direction of traffic.
LAWS
For Pedestrians
State law requires pedestrians walking along the road to use sidewalks when available.
For Drivers
Pedestrians have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, meaning cars must yield for pedestrians, wherever they are in the crosswalk
For Bicyclists
Bicyclists can ride on sidewalks and in crosswalks but when doing so have the same responsibilities and rights as pedestrians.
Yes, in Connecticut it's legal to make a right turn on red after stopping (unless a sign specifies otherwise). But it's important that you come to a full stop before turning so you can check for pedestrians. Right turn on red? Stop and Look. Save a Life.

Fatal crashes among pedestrians and bicyclists increased by 13 percent after the end of Daylight Saving Time, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. If you are out walking or riding your bike, always wear reflective clothing to keep yourself visible. If you're driving, take it slow and keep a careful eye out for pedestrians. We need to look out for each other.

It gets harder to see after we turn the clocks back. That means you might not see that mom or dad pushing their little one across the street. Drive slowly and use caution!
