People on foot should also look for cars backing up and avoid darting between parked cars, make eye contact with drivers and wear bright clothing during the day and reflective materials or use a flashlight at night.<\/li>\n<li><em>Drivers<\/em> should wait for pedestrians to cross the street, avoid distractions like using a cell phone, and be courteous and patient.<\/li>\n<li><em>Bike riders<\/em> are reminded to always wear a helmet, which is required by law for those under 18. Bicyclists must travel in the same direction of traffic and have the same requirements as any slow-moving vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Funding for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n<h6><em>[Information via news release from the Lancaster Sheriff&#8217;s Station.]<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANCASTER &#8211; Lancaster Sheriff&#8217;s deputies will be on the lookout this Monday for bicyclists, drivers, and pedestrians who violate traffic laws and put roadway users at risk.
