Personal Safety
If you walk, run, or jog after sundown, the following tips help motorists spot you.
* Attach reflective tape to the front and back of your clothes.
* Carry a lit flashlight.
* Don’t use the road; stay on the shoulder, or preferably the sidewalk. Move against (facing) traffic if you must use the shoulder.
* Be aware of your surroundings and plan to jump to safety if a vehicle veers toward you.
