We sometimes forget these rules apply to pedestrians also. This is especially important in the winter months when roads are ice and snow covered. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/safercommunity.net\/traffic-safety\/pedestrian-safety\/\">Safe Communities (Dane County Traffic Safety-Pedestrian Safety)<\/a> website, in normal weather conditions, it will take cars traveling at 25 mph approximately 75 feet or about five car lengths to come to a complete stop, that distance may be doubled in bad weather conditions. Be a safe pedestrian by not being distracted, make sure all cars are at a complete stop before entering an intersection and proceed with caution even if you have a \u2018walk sign\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more on pedestrian safety, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/road-safety\/pedestrian-safety\">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)- Pedestrian Safety<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"parent":5777,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5787","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","cfct-can-haz-build"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/160"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5787"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5787\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5789,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5787\/revisions\/5789"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/ehs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
