Traffic Safety Reminder
- Drive cautiously in residential areas: Be aware of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles entering or exiting side streets.
- Maintain a safe following distance: This helps prevent rear-end collisions in unexpected stops.
- Avoid distractions: Focus on the road to reduce the risk of accidents, especially in areas with mixed traffic.
- Obey speed limits: Slower speeds reduce the severity of collisions and give drivers more reaction time.
