We mustache you to listen up to Officer Green’s advice 🥸

In all seriousness, pedestrian safety is a top issue for our community (57% said so on the annual Perception of Safety Survey). Let’s all do our part to help make the streets safe.

Cross when you get the signal: Think of the walk sign at an intersections as the “pedestrian street light.” Waiting for the green light in a vehicle is common; do the same when you’re crossing at a lighted intersection.

Try to not “creep”: Inching into or standing in the roadway while waiting for your turn to cross is not safe. Plain and simple. Stay back on the landing or sidewalk until you see it’s safe to cross (and then keep your eyes scanning as you do).

Heads up, Phones Down: Your senses are your most powerful safety tool when walking through the city. Please eliminate distractions like devices when crossing the street. Who knows you might enjoy your stroll even more!
