Before you lace up those sneakers, here are some quick tips to help you stay safe while running outdoors by the City of La Mesa:
- Cross roads in crosswalks instead of making mid-block crossings
- Look for cars that may be entering or exiting driveways or alleyways
- Do not enter the street from between parked cars or from behind bushes or shrubbery
- Wear bright colors so that motorists can easily see you
- Wear reflective clothing in dark or low light conditions to increase visibility
- Stay on the sidewalk and be aware of traffic in the area
- If there is no sidewalk, walk and stand facing oncoming traffic
- Do not wear headphones or text while walking, as you may not hear
