Learn how to navigate the road with people walking and rolling. Oregon Friendly Driver is funded by @oregondot and administered by @commuteoptions 🌲🚲🚸
Spring is here! 🌸 As more people enjoy walking, biking, and using public transport, let's practice patience and stay alert on the roads, so we can all get to where we are going safely. 🚶 🚴 🚗.
Oregon streets are for everyone. Drive respectfully, notice your surroundings and the people sharing the road with you.
If someone is showing intent they'd like to cross, that's your cue to stop and let them pass safely.
Not all streets are smooth or fully accessible, so it's important to give extra time and space to those who need it.
Be patient. Be aware. Be an Oregon Friendly driver.

These imaged are based on crash data provided by ODOT, from 2019-2024. The dataset includes all fatal and serious crashes statewide, and provides a specific breakdown of crashes involving people on bikes and people walking. This data is not just about the numbers, it is about the people and lives that are affected by traffic-related crashes. All of these crashes were preventable.

Always remember to stop before a crosswalk to give pedestrians a safe space to walk. Safe driving means caring for others on the road, just as you'd want them to do for you. Let's promote courteous driving for a safer community for everyone.
