• Look out for and always yield the right-of-way to people walking, jogging, biking, etc.;
• Pull out slowly from driveways and parking areas while watching for vulnerable road users, including children and others on the sidewalk or nearby pathways;
• Stop fully before turning at driveways and intersections to make sure you do not cut off pedestrians or approaching bicyclists with right of way;
• Do not pass vehicles stopped at crosswalks, as they may be allowing a pedestrian to cross the street;
• Yield to anyone crossing the street when turning left on a green light;
• Watch for surprising changes in direction, especially by children or cyclists avoiding road hazards.
• When parallel parked, check for approaching cyclists before opening your door;
• Leave sufficient space when passing vulnerable road users and take every possible precaution to avoid collision.

• Cross the street at an intersection or designated crosswalk when possible and always stop, look left, right, and left again before crossing. Do not rely solely on pedestrian traffic signals;
• Come to the edge of a parked vehicle, stop and look both ways if it's blocking the view of the street before entering the street. This is also recommended before crossing in front of a stopped vehicle at an intersection if there are additional lanes traveling in the same direction;
