Staying Safe as a Pedestrian in High-Traffic Areas
Busy intersections like Watt Avenue and Roseville Road can be hazardous for both drivers and pedestrians. To stay safe, pedestrians should use crosswalks, remain visible, especially during early morning or evening hours—and avoid distractions such as mobile devices when crossing. Drivers should remain alert, reduce speed near intersections, and yield to pedestrians when required. A few moments of caution can prevent life-changing accidents.
