OLYMPIA (AP) — The state Transportation Department says the end of daylight-saving time today means a greater risk of pedestrian fatalities on fall and winter evenings.
The department reminds drivers — and pedestrians and bike riders — to take more care as darkness falls earlier.
Pedestrians should wear bright or reflective clothing, stay on sidewalks and crosswalks and make eye contact with drivers when crossing the street.
Drivers should check their speed, watch for pedestrians in crosswalks and pay extra attention around schools.
Of the 67 pedestrian fatalities reported between Feb. 1, 2007, and Jan 30, 2008, the department says 33 occurred between October and January.
