call you please Department Traffic Unit we're working on a campaign to educate motorists as well as pedestrians on safety issues how they should cross the street when this across the street and drivers Vehicles where they should be stopping and what they need to be paid attention to as far as the right away from Dash trends this is an effort to keep everybody safer in Columbia some of the tips for drivers motor is star when you're stopping at an intersection it is illegal to stop on the crosswalk stop on the crosswalk that forces pedestrians to walk around that vehicle out into moving traffic as motorists we need to be aware of those things that we're stopping behind the white stop marks as witch where was should be stopping to allow plenty of room for pedestrians to get through as we're coming up to crosswalks we need to be paying attention is there a pedestrian at the edge of the crosswalk get ready to enter or from the other side of the street like this 4-way Street hear that if they're Crossing from the other side we still need to be slowing down to stop and go out at pedestrian time to get across the front even though we're on the opposite direction of traffic at that moment one of the other things that is common in an area like this where there's crosswalks easily identifiable Chris they see pedestrians walking up on the sidewalk getting ready to use the crosswalk probably so the motors will speed up car he's going 34 right now to the 20 when it comes to pedestrian safety one of the things that they can do is to use crosswalks properly  and that would start by pushing the button on the clock signal to indicate that the lightning switch for pedestrian off of times we see pedestrians they just look around nobody's, and they just go ahead and take off across the street violating that signal pedestrians need to cross the directly straight across I shouldn't be Crossing that an angle that prevents you from seeing if cars are coming for both sides of you some of the things is that I think pedestrians can do is to wear high-visibility clothing to help them be seen and you can't be rushed we can't be messing with her phone's listening to walkmans whatever it might so they were paying full attention to Crossing and making sure that the cars that are coming we're seeing them or allowing plenty of time for us to get across bicyclist are supposed to obey tell traffic laws so you're not supposed to be running stop signs Running Red Lights supposed to ride with the flow of traffic in one of the complaints we get in the downtown area are bicyclist riding on the sidewalk that's actually illegal to do in the downtown district looking for enforcement Austrian safety and during that time you'll be issued summonses for The Pedestrian violation whether you're driving a car or is it pedestrian we don't want people to be getting hurt by not a ban the laws it should for pedestrians we're driving the car or riding your bike down the road we're all in this together and at some point we all are Pradesh play in our lives we need to be doing what's safe as a pedestrian as a motorist and is a bicyclist
