PAL: Safety on Our Streets

As more people go on Arlington's Car-Free Diet, there are more cyclists and walkers sharing the street with drivers.  Whether you're on two feet, two wheels or four wheels, everyone needs to be a PAL to safely share the streets.

Being a PAL means being:

• Predictable - travel in a predictable way; don't make sudden unexpected moves
• Alert - pay attention to your surrounds and to others
• Lawful - obey traffic laws, whether in a car, on a bike, or on foot
