From the Collegeville Police Department and Collegeville Main Street Program Pedestrian Safety Committee…

Did You Know:

• At intersections with no signals (even a broken signal), pedestrians have the right-of-way when crossing the road within a crosswalk (whether it’s marked or not).
  

• Pedestrians may not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute a hazard.  Doing so could result in fines and court costs in excess of $50.  Think twice before you step out into traffic!!  
  

• In 2008, Pennsylvania drivers were involved in 174 fatal crashes with pedestrians.  And that doesn’t include the non-fatal but serious accidents.  
  

• It takes the average person 1.5 seconds to perceive and then react to an incident in the road ahead of them.  During those 1.5 seconds your car is STILL moving forward.  This is why we post speed limits – to give you time to react.  Keep our citizens safe!  Drive at or below the speed limit – and maintain a safe following distance.
  

• The safe following distance is MUCH farther than you may think.  Use the 3-Second Rule:  follow the car in front of you, and stay THREE seconds behind it.  At night or in hazardous weather, double that to SIX seconds.  Maintaining a safe distance from cars ahead of you is critical to safety, especially in an area where there are pedestrians. Stay safe – stay alive.
