It's National Pedestrian Safety Month. MaineDOT has distributed pedestrian signs to municipalities throughout the state to help keep people safe. Drivers can also help by observing the signs, slowing down, and incorporating pedestrian awareness into their driving routines.

As we move into fall, the sun is lower on the horizon, and it can be harder for drivers to see. Drivers, be on the lookout for pedestrians. Pedestrians, don’t assume drivers can see you. #PedestrianSafetyMonth

Bicyclists have equal rights and responsibilities as motorists do, so treat them with the same caution and respect on the road, giving them at least three feet of space. Always be vigilant, especially at intersections and when turning, to avoid collisions with cyclists.

Your teen driver might think going fast is fun, but it’s illegal and unsafe. Establish a no-speeding
rule for them. #slowdown

Maine law requires drivers to move over or slow down when approaching stopped emergency, public service, or disabled vehicles on the side of the road. Be sure to slow down and give space to line and tree crews working to restore power. It will protect your safety and theirs.

The clocks fall back this weekend, and it takes motorists time to adjust their vision to the early darkness associated with the end of Daylight Saving Time. Drive extra cautiously and be alert.

Don’t let your drive home become a cautionary tale. 📚 It’s never safe to get behind the wheel after drinking. Designate a sober driver before the party. #BuzzedDriving is drunk driving. #DriveSober

Watch for older adults and those who may have other challenges: Older adult pedestrians and those who use assistive devices such as canes, walkers or wheelchairs need more time crossing streets. Make sure you yield to all pedestrians and give extra time to those who may need it.

Work zone crash fatalities have been on the rise nationally. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports a 61-percent increase in work zone fatalities in the past decade. Please slow down and drive responsibly. Traffic cones are replaceable; people are not.
