Yes, in Connecticut it's legal to make a right turn on red after stopping (unless a sign specifies otherwise). But it's important that you come to a full stop before turning so you can check for pedestrians. Right turn on red? Stop and Look. Save a Life.

Fatal crashes among pedestrians and bicyclists increased by 13 percent after the end of Daylight Saving Time, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. If you are out walking or riding your bike, always wear reflective clothing to keep yourself visible. If you're driving, take it slow and keep a careful eye out for pedestrians. We need to look out for each other.

It gets harder to see after we turn the clocks back. That means you might not see that mom or dad pushing their little one across the street. Drive slowly and use caution!

Amy Watkins, Program Specialist for Watch for Me CT, was on hand at a press conference today in Newington to share tips for staying safe this Halloween. Adults, here are some dos and donโ€™ts as you and your family head out for Halloween fun:

๐ŸŽƒLook both ways. Tell the children in your life to always look left, right and then left again before crossing the street.
๐ŸŽƒUse crosswalks and always obey traffic signals.
๐ŸŽƒStay visible. Use flashlights and/or glowsticks.
๐ŸŽƒRemind kids that just because they can see a car, the driver of the car doesnโ€™t necessarily see them.
๐ŸŽƒPut reflective tape on bags or costumes to stay seen at all times.

Also attending todayโ€™s press conference were: Newington Mayor Jon Trister, Office of Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, Connecticut Highway Safety Office Director Joe Cristalli, State of Connecticut DMV Commissioner Tony Guerrera, Newington Police Chief Chris Perry, State Sen. Matt Lesser and State Rep. Gary Turco and CT Work Zone Safety Mascot Terri the Turtle.

We fall back on November 3rd thanks to the end of Daylight Saving Time. By turning the clocks back an hour, we gain an hour of sleep, but lose an hour of daylight. That means it gets darker earlier! Look out for pedestrians after dark, and make yourself seen if you're walking or riding.
