Many Minnesotans ride their bikes or walk to their destination regardless of outside temperatures and conditions. With fewer hours of daylight, piles of snow and the potential for ice, bicyclists, pedestrians and motor-vehicle drivers alike need to be extra vigilant along our roadways.
Whether on foot or wheels, give yourself more time to stop, turn or approach a corner, so you don’t slip into oncoming traffic or other bicyclists and pedestrians around you.
Pay extra attention when scanning for traffic, pedestrians or bicyclists. Similarly, if you’re coming from behind a snow mound or a parked car, proceed with caution, allowing ample time for others to see you.
Make sure your headlights are on anytime it’s questionably dark. If you’re not in a vehicle, make sure to wear brightly colored, reflective material and an attached light when traveling.
Be smart. Be safe. Be seen. For more information on winter driving visit AAA.com/WinterDriving.
