The Rocklin Police Department continues to bring monthly awareness to different traffic issues within our city. In partnership with California’s Pedestrian Safety Month campaign, we would like to focus on pedestrian safety, especially since our community just recently returned to school. Please talk with your children about the following rules of the road.
🚶 Pedestrians 🚶♀️:
• Use a crosswalk whenever one is available.
• Stay alert and avoid distractions, including phones and headphones.
• Make sure approaching drivers see you before stepping into the roadway.
• Follow pedestrian signals and cross only when permitted.
🚲 Bicyclists, 🚴 e-bikes, 🛴 e-scooters:
• Bicycles, e-bikes, and e-scooters are considered vehicles while riding, meaning they need to stop for stop signs, and ride in the same direction as vehicle traffic.
• In Rocklin, bicycles may ride on the sidewalk, but still must ride in the same direction as motor vehicles.
🚙 Motorists 🚘:
• Slow down and stay alert, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
• Yield to pedestrians who are crossing in a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
• Look carefully for pedestrians before turning.
• Never pass another vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian.
• Avoid distractions and keep your eyes on the road.
Crashes between vehicles and pedestrians have the highest probability for significant injury, so we kindly ask all road users; pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists alike to travel safely and watch out for one another.
Drive and walk safely, Rocklin!
