CRASHES, SERIOUS INJURIES AND FATALITIES INVOLVING PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS ON CONNECTICUT ROADWAYS IN 2025.
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.

As the days get shorter and the sun sets earlier, remember to help drivers see you when you’re walking or biking. Wear bright or reflective clothing and use a light or flashlight to stay visible after dark.
A little extra visibility can make a big difference.

🍂 The days are getting shorter — and that means more people are traveling in the dark.
During your morning and evening commute, take an extra moment to look for pedestrians, bicyclists, children waiting for the bus and neighbors out walking their dogs. 🚶♀️🚲🐕
Slow down at crosswalks and stay alert. And remember: never pass a school bus when its stop sign is out and lights are flashing. 🚌
A few extra seconds of attention can help everyone get where they’re going safely. 💛
