CRASHES, SERIOUS INJURIES AND FATALITIES INVOLVING PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS ON CONNECTICUT ROADWAYS IN 2024.
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.
A small act of patience can make a big difference while out on the roads. For this Older Americans Month — and every month after — let's all watch out for older pedestrians and drivers.
