See & Be Seen is important with the sun setting early in the fall and winter. In addition walking was named December’s Fitness Challenge for #getfitessexcounty and we know many cannot get outside this time of year until after the sun has set.
Pedestrians must always walk against traffic, walk as close to the left side of the road possible using the shoulder or sidewalk, if available.
The safest option is to wear reflective clothing if you are outside after the sun has set.
