An 87-year-old woman was killed recently in a south Fort Myers pedestrian accident as she walked across San Carlos Boulevard.
According to various walkinfo.org that ALL pedestrians might find useful:
–Be predictable. Don’t walk along highways or other zones that are restricted, and try to use sidewalks where they are provided.
–If there is no sidewalk, it’s safer to walk facing traffic.
–Help drivers see you. Dress in light, reflective clothing and if it’s dark, carry a flashlight.
–Walk defensively. Be aware of drivers, particularly when crossing an intersection. Give yourself plenty of time, and make eye contact with motor vehicle drivers so you’re sure they see you.
-Be extra careful if you’re crossing a street that has a higher speed limit.
