Winnie & Wally!
At Watch for Me CT, we believe the best way to keep our communities safe is by teaching safe habits early. Winnie’s role is to show grown-ups how important it is to lead by example, while her joey, Wally reminds us that little eyes are always watching and learning. Together, they help families talk about safety in a fun, memorable way.
Seeing a blinking yellow arrow at an intersection? Here’s what it means:
➡️ When the blinking light is on, you may turn, but only if it’s safe.
⚠️ Before turning, look for pedestrians in the crosswalk. They have the right of way, so wait until the path is clear before turning.
These signals help keep traffic moving while still keeping everyone safe. When in doubt, wait it out. 🚸
