Welcome to Summer Safety Week

in Downtown Spokane! We’re kicking things off with Road Safety Day, a chance to spotlight safe practices for everyone

who walks, rides, or drives in our city. With Downtown Spokane’s lively streets, it’s vital we all share the road responsibly. Whether you’re navigating on foot, biking to work, or cruising on a Lime scooter, your actions help keep everyone safe.

Pedestrian & Cyclist Safety Tips:

  • Use crosswalks and obey pedestrian signals. Look both ways before crossing.
  • Wear reflective clothing or use lights if walking or riding after dark.
  • Bikers should always wear a helmet and ride in designated bike lanes.
  • Follow all traffic laws—even on a bike or scooter.

Driver & Scooter Safety Tips:

  • Avoid distractions—put the phone away and keep your eyes on the road.
  • Always wear your seat belt, even on short trips.
  • Watch for cyclists in your blind spots and give them plenty of space.
  • Check scooters for safety before use and park them responsibly.

From sidewalks to scooters to steering wheels, everyone plays a role in road safety. Let’s keep Spokane moving safely by being aware, alert, and kind on the roads. Here’s to safe travels and smooth rides ahead!
