Warmer months often bring more people outside. From May through July, more people walk, run, and ride bikes while enjoying the weather.
Parks get busier.
Sidewalks get fuller.
Bike traffic may increase in many neighborhoods.
More activity outside can also create safety concerns for people walking and riding bikes.
Learning safe habits may help everyone share the road more safely.
More Bikes And More Foot Traffic Can Create Challenges
Warmer weather often means more people spending time outside.
People may walk to parks, restaurants, stores, or local events. More people may also ride bikes during these months.
When sidewalks, bike lanes, and intersections get busier, people may face more chances for close calls or accidents.
People walking may not always see bikes approaching.
People riding bikes may not always expect someone stepping into a bike lane.
Paying attention matters.
Staying Alert May Help Improve Safety
People walking near busy roads or bike paths may help protect themselves by staying focused.
Phones and distractions may make it harder to notice people nearby.
Looking before crossing bike lanes matters.
Using marked crosswalks may also help improve safety.
Making eye contact when possible and staying aware of surroundings may help lower risks.
Small habits can make a difference.

Following traffic signs and slowing down in busy areas may help improve safety.
Watching for people crossing streets matters.

Communities Can Help Improve Safety
Bike lanes, sidewalks, signs, and traffic safety improvements may help reduce problems in busy areas.
Schools, local groups, and safety programs may also help teach good habits.
