October marks Pedestrian Safety Month, and at some point in their day, everyone is a pedestrian. Motorists should remember that when drivers maintain safe speeds and practice other safe driving behaviors, safer walking environments are created for you, your loved ones and other pedestrians in your community. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's pedestrian safety programs focus on the Safe System Approach : Safe People, Safe Speeds, Safe Roads, Safe Vehicles & Post-Crash Care. Please join NHTSA & NSTA in reducing traffic safety risks to pedestrians and promoting programs and countermeasures that work to save lives of all road users year round! #NationalPedestrianSafetyMonth #NSTA
