Refresh your knowledge of crosswalk and pedestrian safety. Vehicles yield to pedestrians already in a cross-walk or at an intersection. Otherwise, pedestrians should yield to vehicles when crossing a road. Click here for helpful information from SC Department of Motor Vehicles.
Halloween Safety
Halloween is just around this corner (Monday, Oct 31st) and it is never too early to think of "trick or treat" safety. Parents, as you purchase Halloween costumes and gear, remember to pick up flashlights and reflective materials for your kids (and pets)!
