As the season changes from summer to fall, it is now dark later in the morning and getting dark earlier in the evening. Remember to look out for people walking, riding and rolling. Most pedestrian fatalities occur at dusk or at night when visibility is low.

Help prevent these tragedies by following these tips:

As a driver:

  • Be extra vigilant at dusk - it's harder to see pedestrians. 
  • Watch out for pedestrians at corners and mid-block marked, or unmarked crosswalks. 
  • Slow down and look for movement in the dark. 

As a pedestrian:

  • Avoid wearing dark clothing that blends into your surroundings. 
  • Wear bright colors during the day and light, or reflective gear at night. 
  • Carry a flashlight or use a headlamp when it's dark, rainy. foggy or cloudy. 
  • Together, we can make Oregon's streets safer for everyone.
