We all share the responsibility to keep our roadways safe. To save lives, we have to watch out for each other! Each year, about 1,500 pedestrians and 550 bicyclists are hit by cars on Connecticut roadways, leading to serious injuries and fatalities. Watch for Me CT is aimed at reducing those numbers through awareness, education and enforcement.
State law requires pedestrians walking along the road to use sidewalks when available.
Pedestrians have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, meaning cars must yield for pedestrians, wherever they are in the crosswalk
Bicyclists can ride on sidewalks and in crosswalks but when doing so have the same responsibilities and rights as pedestrians.
