Efforts like this that work to create a narrative around distracted #walking only serve as a distraction from the real work needed to create safer streets @CityLab https://t.co/dra5wz51iy

[Stop For Me @Stop_For_Me]

Keep stopping for people crossing when you're driving in St. Paul! (And everywhere else too.) https://t.co/JvWZphNpjx

[Saint Paul Police Department @sppdmn]

Please keep an eye out for pedestrians and bikers.

Never pull around a car that has stopped for someone crossing the street.

Slow down. Drive the speed limit. Be aware of your surroundings. And when you see somebody, stop for them.

This time of year, we find an increase in crashes involving pedestrians and bikers.

As the days get shorter and the sun sets during our commute home, it becomes harder for drivers to see people at the crosswalks.

ATTENTION DRIVERS: The fourth phase of @Stop_For_Me will be Oct. 1-12.

Since starting, citations have gone down as compliance increased.

Results so far:
-1st phase: 1076 warnings
-2nd phase: 633 citations
-3rd phase: 386 citations

These numbers are good, but we can do better.
