Remember that sunlight plays a major role in your sleep/wake cycle. As we head towards winter and fewer daylight hours, make sure you’re getting enough sleep to stay alert behind the wheel. Drowsy driving is dangerous driving. tntrafficsafety.org/drowsy-d…
ALT An infographic of drowsy driving facts. “Take a break, drive awake. Driving while drowsy delays reaction speed, decreases concentration, and impairs judgment. Drivers need at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Warning signs: Having trouble focusing and/or keeping your eyes open; Daydreaming or experiencing wandering thoughts; Yawning frequently or rubbing your eyes repeatedly; Inability to remember the distance(s) you traveled.”

A person walking across the street should not have to wonder if a driver sees them.
Drivers: Slow down. Look up. Put the phone down.
Getting there safely is more important than getting there quickly.

#Halloween
Parents, costumes are ready. Candy bags are ready.
Now make sure your little trick-or-treaters are ready to be seen.
Bright colors, reflective material and flashlights can help drivers see them.

#Halloween 🎃
Halloween should be scary because of the costumes—not because someone didn't make it home.
Slow down. Watch for little ghosts, goblins and superheroes crossing the street.

Having a WALK signal doesn’t mean every driver sees you.
Before crossing, check for vehicles turning through the crosswalk and make sure drivers have stopped for you. Stay alert as you cross.

May our faith win over our fear.
May we remain courageous even when we're afraid.
May the promise of better tomorrows energize us.

Don't assume they see you.
When crossing the street, put your phone away and watch the cars around you.
Too many drivers are looking at their phones instead of looking for you.
Stay alert. Your safety depends on it.

Pedestrians: Make yourself visible.
Drivers: Don't assume you will see them in time.
Slow down. Look twice. Watch intersections and crosswalks.
Everyone has a role in getting everyone home.

Children wait at least several feet away from a bus and often cross the street when they’re boarding or getting off the bus. This is why it’s vital to stop for school buses, and don’t attempt to pass. tntrafficsafety.org/school-b…
ALT Photo of a school bus with children crossing in front of it. Text reads: “When you see a school bus slowing down or stopping, it’s not just the bus itself that you need to watch out for. Pay attention to the surrounding area for children. Always STOP when the stop arm is out.

Being a good driver isn't about looking cool.
It's about making it home.
Every. Single. Time.
