Stop, Look & Wave
for Safer Streets

RI Waves is a fun road safety campaign for everyone – bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists.

RI Waves encourages everyone – pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists – to wave to each other and confirm they’ve been seen at all road crossings. The message is positive, friendly and inspiring – we can all be safer on our streets when we Stop, Look & Wave at every crossing.

Would you like to become a partner and bring RI Waves to your town, school, library or business?

It’s as easy as
Stop, Look & Wave!

At every intersection…

Stop  before you enter any street, any where.

Look  in all directions to see if any traffic is coming, including bicycles.

Wave  to any person in any vehicle, including bicycles, to be sure they see you.

When you get a reply wave – you’re good to go!

Kidder waving

It’s easy, intuitive, and friendly. Confirm you’re seen with a wave!
