Sadly, a pedestrian is killed every 74 minutes in traffic crashes. Remember, at some point in the day EVERYONE is a pedestrian:

🚶‍➡️ Follow the rules of the road
🚶‍➡️ Use crosswalks when available
🚶‍➡️ Walk on sidewalks when available

🚘 Look out for pedestrians and minimize blind spots
🚘 Be careful in hard-to-see conditions
🚘 Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks

It’s too hot to leave anyone in the car.
Not a child.
Not a senior.
Not a pet.
Not for “just a minute.”

Whether you buckle up to avoid a ticket or to make it home to your family, that one "click" is the difference between a close call and a tragedy.

NEW: NHTSA is rolling out a comprehensive traffic safety plan: Pathways to Safer Streets (P2SS). This nationwide action plan targets the leading causes of traffic fatalities — impairment, speeding, distraction, and lack of seat belt use — with 8 powerful strategies to keep Americans safe on the roads.

“At NHTSA, we’re leaning in to support new and enhanced steps to target and reduce bad driving behaviors that lead to serious crashes, such as speeding and impaired, unbelted, and distracted driving,” Administrator Jonathan Morrison said.
