➡️If you are under 12 years old, you should walk with an adult who can help keep you safe🚶🏾♂️🚶🏻♀️🚶🏼
➡️Always practice street safety: look both ways before crossing the street and be careful of cars and bikes. Once it gets dark, it gets difficult for drivers to see you. 🚦🚗🚴
➡️Be careful walking when it is dark: Stay away from dark areas and try to wear bright colored clothing, this will help people see you in the dark🦺
