Extra visibility can make a big difference on the road.
If you're heading out after dusk:
🔦 Wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight.
🚶Use sidewalks, or walk facing traffic if there aren't any.
Drivers — slow down and stay alert.
As cold mornings approach, never start your car in the garage — even with the door open.
Carbon monoxide can't be seen or smelled, but it can be deadly. Here's how to stay safe. 🥶⤵️
A little extra caution can help prevent a crash. 🦌⚠️
Deer are on the move this time of year and can enter the road unexpectedly. Whether you're driving through wooded areas or suburban neighborhoods, stay focused and be prepared for sudden crossings.
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
