Road Safety

When it comes to road safety, the best tips are the obvious ones: do not drink or do drugs and drive, do not drive when you are tired, do not use a cell phone or text while driving, and always buckle up. In fact, wear your seat belt whether you are a driver or a passenger.

Other guidelines to improve road safety

• Take care as a pedestrian when crossing the street.

• Slow down when it is wet or slippery and drive to suit the conditions and speed limits.
• Obey traffic signs (for example, construction zones).
• Do not speed.
• Do not run red lights.
• Do not tailgate other drivers.
