Going for a walk can seem like a normal and safe activity but when done at night or early in the morning, certain dangers can be present. To name a few, these include poor visibility, obstacles in your path and uneven sidewalks and curbing.

The following are some safety tips:

1. Plan your route.

2. Let a friend know your walking route.

3. Wear bright or reflective clothing.

4. Carry a flashlight.

5. Have your cell phone.
