As we wrap Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, remind yourself that drowsy-driving crashes can happen in the blink of an eye. 👁️

If you’re tired:
🔵 Pull over safely
🔵 Get rest before you go

Know the 3 biggest risk factors. 👇

Darker fall days raise the risk for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Today, in Silver Spring, COG’s Street Smart campaign, with Maryland and Montgomery County, brought community leaders and law enforcement together to urge all road users to help prevent avoidable tragedies.

Knowing how to safely yield helps emergency responders get where they need to go. 🚨

If an emergency vehicle is approaching, remember these quick tips. ⤵️

Shorter days call for extra care. Street Smart promotes pedestrian and bicycle safety across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Slow down, avoid distractions, and watch for people walking and biking—especially after dark.

It's Halloween week! 🎃

Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash.

Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

🚧Metropolitan Branch Trail Update🚧
Recently, 👷‍♂️Crews worked on graffiti removal along the CSX tracks, installed new concrete sidewalks and aprons along Selim Road, installed ornamental fencing and paved the shared use path.  ▶️ow.ly/HBQN5100w8q @Wash_cycle #bikemoco

Kids are most at risk right as they step on and off the bus. Give them the time and space to do it safely. 🚌

Know what each light means 👇 and check your state's stop-arm laws.

A stopped school bus means kids may be nearby.

Give the bus plenty of space. Stay stopped while the red lights are flashing and watch for children before you move.

5 giant steps can make a BIG difference.

Teach kids to stay about 10 feet — or 5 giant steps — away from the curb while waiting for the school bus.

A few simple steps can help make the trip to and from school SAFER! 🚌🧒
