This Crash Responder Safety Week, remember: when you see flashing lights on the side of the road, state laws require you to Slow Down, Move Over. Giving responders a safe buffer takes just a few seconds, but it gives crews the space they need to return home SAFELY after every shift. 🚨🚘 *Move Over laws vary by state

If you can’t see the truck driver’s reflection in their side mirror, they can’t see you. Due to their size and height, trucks have blind spots called “No Zones.” Avoid lingering in them to stay safe.

Nearly 1 in 3 nighttime fatalities involve speeding. When you can't see as far ahead, traveling at high speeds means you're driving blind to what’s around the next bend — whether it’s a curve, an animal, or a pedestrian. Slow down and give yourself time to stop. 🫸

During this last week of Pedestrian Safety Month, save and share this quick guide to stay SAFE.🚶‍➡️🚘
This image is a safety poster divided into two sections. The top section, titled "Pedestrian Safety," advises using a crosswalk, following road rules, finding a well-lit area if no crosswalk is available, and watching for cars in driveways and parking lots. The bottom section, titled "Driver Awareness," suggests watching for pedestrians, yielding to them, and slowing down, especially in poor visibility conditions. Various icons accompany each tip, such as a crosswalk, a yield sign, and a slow down sign.
