Safety Tips for Pedestrian
Carry a purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps.
Put a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket, not a back pocket.
Don't wear shoes or clothing that restrict your movements.
Have your car or house key in hand before you reach the door.
Know your full name, address (including state), and telephone number with the area code. Know your parents’ or guardians’ names, too.
If anyone tries to move or hurt you, make sure you scream, kick, fight, and yell, “You’re not my dad (or mom)!”
If you find a gun, do not touch it. Leave it alone and tell someone. If a friend wants you to touch or hold it, say no!
Have your mom or dad walk with you the first few days of school to pick out the safest route.

If you must ride at night or low light, always use both a front and rear light and reflector.

Carry parcels in a backpack, bike rack, basket, or trailer.
Obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals.
