We encourage all pedestrians to follow these safety guidelines when walking near roadways, particularly at night:
1. Wear bright or reflective clothing: This makes you more visible to drivers, especially in low-light conditions.
2. Walk on sidewalks whenever possible: If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic, so you can see oncoming vehicles.
3. Carry a flashlight: It helps drivers see you, and it also allows you to navigate dark areas safely.
4. Avoid distractions: Stay alert, avoid using headphones, and be cautious of your surroundings at all times.
For further inquiries, please contact the George County Sheriff’s Office. Authorized for release by Sheriff Mitchell Mixon.
