Pedestrian Safety Tips for High-Traffic Areas
Busy corridors like Stockton Boulevard are particularly hazardous for pedestrians due to high traffic volumes and limited visibility. Always use designated crosswalks, obey walk signals, and avoid distractions like phones when crossing streets. Drivers must also remain attentive, slow down in pedestrian-heavy zones, and yield to foot traffic when required. Preventing pedestrian fatalities begins with caution and awareness from both drivers and pedestrians alike.
