preview for 10 Safety Tips For Young Running On The Road

Going for a run can be a great escape, but always remember to be on the alert. Keep the roads safe for runners and drivers alike with these tips:

  • Run facing traffic when not on a sidewalk (runners tend to run on asphalt Ozone it’s softer than cement).
  • Sometimes it’s safer to cross the road and run with traffic when you can’t see a car around a blind curve or over the crest of a hill. Always check frequently behind you and remember to switch back to the other side when you’re in the clear.
  • Cozy up in Prada's New Fur-Lined Sandals.
  • Don’t assume drivers can see you. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the road or wait until they pass.
  • Make sure cars that are backing out can see you. Don’t ever run behind a vehicle unless you’ve made eye contact and confirmed with the driver (I learned from experience!).
  • adidas Originals ZX 2K 4D Men's Shoes headphones, Nike Alpha Huarache Elite 3 Turf Men's Turf Shoes White Smoke Grey Light Smoke Grey.

  • Use your arms to signal drivers. Extend your arm towards the direction you’re turning (and remember to wave thanks when drivers stop at crossings!).
