Be Stratford Safe
Be Safe. Be Seen.
As the clocks change and darkness come earlier, it’s important for walkers, joggers, bike riders and everyone on the streets to be seen by motor vehicles.
The Stratford Safe Night Safety Program was created to encourage pedestrian visibility and night safety town-wide.
Stratford residents were invited to sign up for a complimentary reflective pedestrian kit and asked to help promote night safety in their communities.
Reflective pedestrian kits are underwritten by the Stratford Rotary with support from local businesses and community leaders.

Take The Stratford Safe Night Safety Pledge
1. Wear brightly colored clothing. If you're walking or running near traffic, it's important to be as visible as possible. Headlights shine best on bright colors, so wear something bright.
2. Wear reflective gear. Make yourself more visible is to wear something reflective. The options include reflective vests, belts, harnesses, wrist straps, arm bands and tape.
3. Attach a light to your belt, shoes or hat.
Not only does running with a light make you more visible to drivers, it can also help prevent injury, especially if you're running on uneven terrain in the dark.
4. Avoid using noise-canceling headphones and listening to loud music. It's important to be able to pick up road noise and foot traffic, not an easy task when both your hearing and sight are compromised.
5. Run on sidewalks and take extra care at intersections.
At night, it can be hard for drivers to spot a runner. If you're running in close proximity to traffic, keep a safe distance by running on sidewalks. And always be sure to check for traffic before crossing an intersection, even if you have the right of way.
