Sharing the Road with Pedestrians

Stay Alert, Stay Safe

Drivers aren’t the only ones using the road. Pedestrians can appear at any time, especially at intersections, crosswalks, and in busy areas.

Staying alert and scanning ahead gives you more time to react and helps prevent serious crashes. Taking a moment to slow down and look carefully can make all the difference.

Stay Safe During Roadside Emergencies

Watch Out for Roadside Assistance Scams

When your car breaks down, help should make things easier—not worse. Unfortunately, scammers sometimes target stranded drivers. Here’s how to stay protected:

  • Call Trusted Sources Only: Use the number from your insurance, car manual, or official roadside assistance card.
  • Confirm It’s the Service You Called: Scammers may show up pretending to be the company you contacted—always double-check before accepting help.
  • Go Through Your Insurance When Possible: If your policy includes roadside assistance, reach out directly for verified help.
  • Watch for Red Flags: Be cautious of anyone asking for upfront cash payments or offering unclear pricing.

Stay alert and don’t let scammers turn a stressful situation into something worse.
