Road Safety Program
Pedestrians... don’t cross between parked vehicles – it can cause an accident that injures you.
Drivers and passengers... look around before you open the car door, especially for cyclists - you could both be seriously injured.
Motorcyclists and Cyclists... watch for car doors opening, keep your distance and don’t weave between lanes - keep speed down in traffic.
