The following guidelines are
provided courtesy of the
Rochelle Park Police
Department for
pedestrians, to ensure their safety: |

- Carry or wear something white or reflective if walking at night
- Cross only at crosswalks
- Before crossing any street be sure to look both ways, and be sure the way is clear before crossing
- Cross only on proper traffic signal
- Be especially watchful for turning cars
- Never enter the roadway from between parked cars
- Where there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the street, facing oncoming traffic
- When walking your pet, be sure you have the animal on a short leash and under control at all times. Pets may dart out in front of passing vehicles if they are not
