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

Bicyclists can ride on sidewalks and in crosswalks but when doing so have the same responsibilities and rights as pedestrians.

Roundabouts help traffic move more smoothly — and they make intersections safer, too. According to the Federal Highway Administration, roundabouts can reduce deadly and serious injury crashes by more than 80%.
Not sure how to use a single-lane roundabout? Just remember YES:
🟡 Y — Yield to pedestrians and traffic already in the roundabout
🟡 E — Enter when there’s a safe opening
🟡 S — Signal before exiting
Slow down, stay alert, and help keep traffic flowing safely.

Staying alert is one of the best ways to help keep yourself and your family safe near the roadway. Before crossing, be sure to look up and look both ways. Make sure cars are yielding to you! Keep headphone volume low enough to hear traffic, or use transparency mode or bone-conduction headphones. 🦉💛

☀️🚸 School’s out for summer!
With more kids walking, biking, and playing outside during the day, drivers need to stay extra alert. Connecticut’s Vulnerable Road User Law requires drivers to use extra caution around pedestrians and bicyclists.
⚠️ Failing to do so can result in fines of up to $1,000, in addition to other violations.
As summer begins, slow down, stay focused, and look out for our most vulnerable road users.
