Jaywalking

Your friend answered three easy questions about your habits as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist. Now they want to give you three clutch tips for staying safe on the road! Read this lil’ personal guide on avoiding jaywalking which, it turns out, can be super dangerous.

1. Pre-pack your stuff the night before.

Have you been known to jaywalk if you’re running late to school? Choose an outfit, make your lunch, and pack your backpack the night before. Then it’s no stress (and no rush!) in the morning.

2. Use the calendar and set alarms on your phone.

This is another time-saving tip so you don’t feel the need to rush across the street. No need to constantly check the clock to stay on time. Let your phone remind you!

3. Rack up those steps!

Do you sometimes jaywalk because it’s convenient? Jaywalking might be a shorter distance, but taking those extra steps to use the crosswalk will make you happier and healthier in the long-run, not to mention safe in the present.
