The road can be dangerous, especially at night. If you are crossing the street or driving, you must be fully aware of your surroundings. Pedestrians should maximize their visibility by wearing light-colored clothing, and they should cross only at designated crosswalks. Drivers must slow down and keep their eyes moving. When everyone does their part to play it safe, the chances of accidents occurring decrease.
