Stay Safe While on a Walk

With school about to start very soon, it would be a good idea if the kids, as well as their parents and grandparents, knew how to walk safely on a road where there are no sidewalks.

Yesterday I saw a young man walking his dog on the right side of the road and a young mother pushing a baby in a stroller on the right side of the road. This is just plain WRONG!

Always walk on the left side of the road, facing oncoming traffic. It’s a simple rule to follow and it could save your life. I know of two deaths in western Montana that could have been avoided had the victims been walking on the left side of the road.

So, parents, grandparents and teachers, let’s remind the kids, and ourselves, of the proper way to stay safe while on a walk.
