As both pedestrian and vehicular traffic increase, the Denville Police Department will be increasing enforcement efforts to improve crosswalk safety.
Here are some important safety tips to remember:
PEDESTRIANS
- Always cross at marked crosswalks
- Make eye contact to ensure drivers see you before crossing
- Obey traffic signals and signs
- Look both ways before entering the roadway
- Be especially cautious of turning vehicles
DRIVERS
- Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk — IT’S THE LAW
- Slow down when approaching crosswalks
- Be prepared to stop at any time
- Stay alert in areas with high pedestrian activity
- Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk
Let’s work together to keep our roads safe for everyone.
