Spring forward into daylight savings time

Moving the clock ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday is not the only thing to remember about daylight savings time: Stay alert and travel safely!

Feeling tired from losing an hour of sleep can cause result in vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian crashes and injuries. Statistically, there is an increase in crashes reported after both spring and fall time changes. Avoid travel is you are feeling tired.

It will also be darker in the morning, and visibility will be impacted. Pedestrians and bicyclists should wear reflective clothing and use headlights and bicycle lights.
