Safety Tips for Driving 

in the Dark          

The time change can create challenges for commuters, including reduced visibility and less alert motorists.

Here are some important safety reminders from NCDOT:

• Make sure your vehicle’s headlights, brake lights, turn signals and emergency flashers are working.
• Be alert and watch for bicyclists, pedestrians, and deer.
• Get plenty of sleep and be well rested to avoid driving tired.
• Keep the windshield clean to improve visibility. Allow time to defrost or defog, if necessary, before driving.
• Use the car's sun visor or wear sunglasses when the sun is at a low angle and producing a glare.

Headlight Use Reminders: 

• Switch headlights from high beam to low beam for approaching vehicles.
• If an approaching vehicle does not dim its lights, remind the driver by blinking the high beams once.
•  Keep lights on low beam, even if the oncoming driver does not do likewise.
• Stay to the right and use the edge of the road as a guide.
• Reduce speed and avoid looking directly into the headlights of oncoming traffic.
• Never leave headlights on when parking along the road – they can blind drivers of oncoming vehicles, Instead, turn on the emergency flashers. 

Shine a Light of Hope and Support for Local Veterans

Operation Green Light is an initiative that encourages residents and businesses to show their support to local veterans by shining green lights throughout their communities to let local veterans know they are seen, appreciated and supported.

Soon you will see an array of Kill Devil Hills’ government buildings and facilities illuminated with green lighting in honor of our local heroes—as a symbol of appreciation and support for the veterans who have so selflessly served our nation.

Kill Devil Hills residents and business owners are strongly encouraged to join in the efforts and recognize the importance of honoring all those who made immeasurable sacrifices to preserve our freedom by displaying green lights at their place of business or their residence from November 4, 2024 through November 11, 2024.
