What police are asking

The service reminded drivers to stay alert, obey posted speed limits, avoid distractions and allow enough time to react to changing traffic. A Windsor Police spokesperson told AM800 News that pedestrians should use crosswalks, keep their heads up, make sure a driver has seen them before crossing and wear reflective clothing at night, and that drivers should expect to see pedestrians at all times.
