If a sidewalk is cleared and available, please use it.
Be careful walking out from behind piles of snow. Oncoming cars can not stop quickly on slick pavement and the driver may be able to see you.
Keep your hands free so that if you do slip you can catch yourself. If you are talking on a cell phone you are not paying attention to your surroundings.
Just like operating a vehicle, a pedestrian has a duty to proceed cautiously during inclement weather.
Bend your knees a little and take slower steps to reduce your chances of falling when walking. Wear gloves to avoid putting your hands in your pockets.
Use caution when exiting your vehicle and please do not walk between cars to get to your vehicle.
If you have packages to carry in, stop at the entrance and leave them before proceeding to a parking spot.
