Running can be great exercise, but sometimes the runner's actions may make like harder for those around them. If possible run on a track or an area you know well, and try to complete your run so that you have full lighting.
If there are sidewalks, make sure that you use them. Using the street may sound like a great way to avoid the hassle of pedestrians, but it's a great way to get run over.
If sidewalks aren't available, run against the flow of traffic. This makes you visible and allows you to watch the traffic easier.
If you are running at night, never wear dark clothes and always wear something reflective. Running like a ninja make be better security, but security isn't the issue while you're running; safety is. If a car can't see you it will likely run you over.
If you are turning around make sure you stop and look over your shoulder before you turn around. It ensures that you won't be surprised by a car, if nothing else.
