May is Older Americans Month, a great reminder to always look out for older pedestrians. Between 2018-2022, people ages 50-65 accounted for 33.6% of pedestrian-related crashes. Drivers, always look out for pedestrians, especially at intersections!
April showers bring… May puddles? Rainy days can lead to slick roads and limited visibility. Drive cautiously and watch the roads.
If you are driving in heavy rain here's what to do:
☔ Slow down ☔ Turn on your headlights ☔ Maintain a safe following distance ☔ Avoid hard braking to prevent hydroplaning ☔ Safely pullover if necessary ☔ Avoid standing water (drive slowly if you must)
May is National Bicycle Safety Month! Here are some tips for cyclists and drivers to keep our roadways safe:
🚲Bikes are vehicles, so they should be ridden in the same direction as traffic and in the travel lane or a bicycle lane when possible. 🚲 It’s important for bicyclists to know where to ride in the lane. This depends on how fast they're going and if they need to turn. If a bicyclist is riding slower than cars around them, they should stay as far to the right as is safe—unless they're turning left, going around something in the road or passing another vehicle. 🚲 Drivers can pass a bicyclist only if they can leave at least 3 feet of space between their car and the bike. It’s okay to cross a double yellow line to do this, but only if the road is clear. If it’s not safe, drivers must wait to pass.
The story of Shauna Devlin and her tragic death in 2022 is one of the stories highlighted in our documentary Ghost Shoes. Watch the full video, and learn how we can help prevent future tragedies, here: ow.ly/oAbC50VHQab
Watch for Me CT's Amy Watkins was recently interviewed by CT Insider about our work to make Connecticut's roads safer for all. Click through to read the article and learn about the key laws all drivers and pedestrians should be aware of as they travel throughout the state.
Using your phone while driving is illegal in Connecticut. It takes your eyes off the road, which is never okay. Here are some tips to help keep your focus where it belongs:
📌If you are expecting a text message or need to send one that can’t wait, pull over and park your car in a safe location before using your device. 📌Make your passenger a “designated texter.” Allow them access to your phone to respond to calls or messages. 📌Do not engage in social media scrolling or messaging while driving.
Do you know the signs? Whether you are riding a bike or driving a car, knowing the most commonly used hand signals for bicyclists can help keep everyone safe.
☂️You’ve heard that April showers bring May flowers? 🌹 Well, they can also bring slick road conditions. Rain can create dangerous road conditions that require extra caution. One of the most dangerous times to be on the road while it is raining is right after it starts because the water mixes with the oils on the road making for a slick surface. Giving yourself a little extra time can prevent the need to drive faster than what is safe for the road conditions.
If you have Afro-textured hair, wearing a helmet can be a challenge, depending on the thickness of your hair. Everyone's hair is different, so it may take some trial and error to figure out what best works for you. Here are some things to consider:
✔️ Try different protective styling (low bun, braids, plaits, etc.) to help keep your hair out the way of your helmet. ✔️ Use a scarf to help secure your hair, and to protect your hair from friction. ✔️ Keep a helmet that is custom to the different hairstyles you may have. ✔️ Bring a travel size of your favorite hair product to help after your ride.

🚲Parents and Guardians: Make sure your child puts all of the distractions down when they are walking or riding a bicycle. Here are some tips to teach your kids how to be safe near the road:
➡️When crossing the street, riding a bike, or walking on the sidewalk near the road put the phone down. Teach your child to find a safe place to stop and make a call or send a text if they need to. ➡️For children, listening to music while riding a bike or crossing the street can be dangerous. Teach kids to put the headphones away! ➡️The road is not a place to mess around. While it might be well intentioned, a playful shove can push someone into the road. Save the playfulness until you get to your destination.

Most people know that distracted driving is dangerous, but did you also know that distracted walking and biking is also dangerous? Here are a couple things to remember to help keep yourself safe:
🎵Music is great, but you still have to be able to hear what’s going on around you. Sound relays important information. Maybe it’s an emergency vehicle with its sirens on traveling through an intersection during the walk signal or a car that you didn’t see honking to let you know they are there. Using only one ear bud or headphones with features like transparency mode or bone conduction can be a solution to this problem.
🚶Especially when you are crossing the road, make sure to look up from your phone. This is important whether you are at a crosswalk or not. Even though pedestrians do have the right of way at crosswalks, especially if there is a walk signal, you should never assume that drivers see you. Making eye contact with drivers, even at a crosswalk, ensures that everyone get where they are going safely.
Learning to ride a bike is a developmental milestone in the life of a child. It is essential that they learn bike safety rules to decrease the risk of injury. Come join us for an educational and fun bike rodeo. ... See MoreSee Less

If you are behind the wheel and need to pass a cyclist, remember to give them space. Make sure you are giving bicyclists 🚴 at least 3 feet (or more!) when passing by them. In CT, you can cross the double yellow line to ensure enough passing space, as long as it is safe to do so. Every foot matters and so does every life!
April is National Distracted Driving Prevention Month. The number one cause of distracted driving is phone usage. To prevent being distracted by incoming text message notifications, activate your phone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature while you are in the car. It's quick, it's easy and it could help prevent a tragedy.
Only a fool 🤡 ignores the rules of safety — don't be that driver, pedestrian or bicyclist! Make sure you are staying in the lines, looking in all directions and being cautious ⚠️! Safety is no joke when it comes to lives.
You may have seen a new type of traffic signal around Connecticut, a blinking yellow arrow that indicates drivers can proceed if the way is clear.
The blinking yellow arrow is meant to make turns safer. Drivers wanting to turn while the arrow is blinking should check to make sure that there is no oncoming traffic, pedestrians or bicyclists. You should be aware that oncoming traffic, pedestrians and bikes all have the right of way when the arrow is blinking, so you MUST wait if there is something or someone in the path of your turn. As soon as it is clear, you can proceed through the intersection.
