Choose well-lit, populated routes over shortcuts through empty lots or alleys, even if it adds a few extra minutes to your walk.
Stay off your phone screen while walking — awareness of your surroundings is one of the most effective, and free, safety tools available to you.
Share your location or expected arrival time with someone you trust when walking alone at night, especially on unfamiliar routes.
Keep your personal defense tool — whether a Pen-Style stun gun, Mini device, or alarm-equipped flashlight — accessible, not buried at the bottom of a bag.
Trust your instincts. If a route, person, or situation feels wrong, change direction, cross the street, or head toward a populated, well-lit area immediately.
