The following safety tips are taken from

The best way to avoid accidents is to be
prepared and be aware of vehicles around you. While the
law assigns pedestrians the right of way, it does not relieve pedestrians of using due care for
their own safety.
Safety Tips for Pedestrians
-
Look left, right, and left for
traffic. Stop at the curb and look left,
right, and left again for traffic. Stopping at the curb signals drivers that you intend
to cross. Always obey traffic signals.
Watch your
kids. Small
children should not cross streets by themselves or be allowed to play or walk near traffic. Kids
cannot accurately judge vehicle distances and speeds and may make unpredictable
movements.
Drinking and
walking? Alcohol can impair the judgment and motor
skills of pedestrians just as it does for drivers. Don't take alcohol risks with walking, just as
you would not with driving. Take the bus, take a cab, or have a friend drive you home. Beware of
the effects of prescription and non-prescription medications and drugs, too.
Obey traffic
signals. At
intersections where traffic is controlled by signals or a traffic officer, pedestrians must obey
the signal and not cross against the stop signal unless specifically directed to go by a traffic
officer.
No matter where you
choose to do your walking to lose weight, it's
essential that you always consider the safety aspects of the places you choose to
walk.
