Autumn Brings Safety Challenges for Midwest Drivers: Tips to Stay Safe on the Road

 

Here’s how to stay safe during autumn:

Tops Tips for Autumn Driving Safety

  • Use Headlights in Darkness: With shorter days, visibility decreases. Use highlights as needed to improve visibility and ensure others can see you.
  • Slow Down in School Zones: Kids are back in school, so be mindful of lower speed limits to keep students safe.
  • Watch for New Drivers: Many young drivers are on the road this season, so give them space and be patient.
  • Yield to Pedestrians: School athletes and other pedestrians may be out on the streets for training – slow down and give them room.
  • Look Out for Wildlife: Animals are more active in autumn, often crossing roads. Stay alert, especially during the early morning and evening.

 

Staying alert and avoiding distractions like phones and food can help you, pedestrians and other drivers, safe this season.
