The main messages of the Stickman Knows campaign are:

  • Pedestrians, always cross at corners or in crosswalks.
  • Pedestrians, before crossing, look left, right, then left again.
  • Pedestrians, make sure you're visible to drivers.
  • Bicyclists, always stop at traffic lights and stop signs.
  • Bicyclists, ride with traffic, not against it.
  • Bicyclists, you're safer when a driver knows what to expect. Be predictable.
  • Motorists, bicyclists have all the same rights as drivers.
  • Motorists, watch for bicyclists and pedestrians before turning.

Developing the Stickman Knows concept didn't happen overnight. After an analysis of bike and pedestrian collisions in Spokane County and a series of focus groups and in-depth surveys, the Stickman Knows campaign was born of the community.

The campaign is made possible by two-year Transportation Enhancement funding from the Washington state Department of Transportation.
