Practice extra caution on the roads with shorter days ahead

The days are getting shorter as winter approaches, and this Sunday, it’s time to “fall back” again. With the clocks shifting back an hour, evenings will get darker earlier, so it’s especially important to look out for one another on the roads . Whether you’re driving, walking, or biking, stay alert and make visibility a priority. If you’re on foot or on wheels, wear something bright or reflective so drivers can see you. Slowing down and paying attention helps ensure everyone gets home safely.
