Chester County has launched a safety awareness campaign to keep pedestrians and bicyclists safe and drivers aware. The "Walk. Ride. Drive. Safe" campaign offers tips and rules for drivers, bicyclists and walkers when sharing lanes.

Social media posts will remind pedestrians to keep their phone down and head up when walking along the side of a road, to walk facing traffic, and to stay to the left. Cyclists will be urged to stay off their phones and make themselves highly visible with lights and reflectors. The messages will also remind drivers to slow down and move over to safely pass walkers and joggers.

In addition to the Planning Commission, partners involved in the "Walk. Ride. Drive. Safe" program include the Chester County Health Department, Department of Emergency Services and Parks + Preservation, plus PennDOT, Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, SEPTA, TMACC, Greater Valley Forge TMA, DVRPC and West Chester University.
