    Stay Safe This Winter: Important Safety Reminders from the Park Ridge Police Department

As we transition into the winter months, the Park Ridge Police Department urges all motorists to remain vigilant while driving. With the onset of standard daylight time, reduced visibility can significantly impact pedestrian safety. Please remember to stop for pedestrians who are entering the roadways.

Safety Tips for Motorists:

• Stay alert and cautious, especially in areas with high pedestrian traffic.
• Always come to a complete stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.

Safety Tips for Pedestrians:

• Wear bright or reflective clothing to enhance visibility.
• Use marked pedestrian crossings to ensure safe passage.
• Proceed only when vehicles have come to a complete stop to allow you to cross.

To further ensure compliance with traffic laws, the Park Ridge Police Department has deployed plainclothes officers at crosswalks to monitor and enforce proper stopping practices by motorists.

Additionally, we remind all residents to secure their vehicles by locking the doors and refraining from leaving key fobs inside unlocked cars.

We wish everyone a healthy and safe New Year in 2025. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact our non-emergency number at 201-391-5401.

Stay safe and vigilant, The Park Ridge Police Department
