Wet and slippery roads: Fall weather can bring rain, snow, and ice, which can make roads more slippery and dangerous for pedestrians.
Increased traffic: As people prepare for the holidays, there is often more traffic on the roads, which can make it more difficult for pedestrians to cross the street safely.

To stay safe while walking in the fall, pedestrians should take the following precautions:
Be visible: Wear bright clothing and use reflective materials to make yourself more visible to drivers.
Cross the street safely: Only cross the street at designated crosswalks and make sure to look both ways before crossing.
Be aware of your surroundings: Pay attention to traffic and be aware of any potential hazards, such as parked cars or construction zones.
