Pedestrian Safety

Pedestrian safety is a growing public health concern with pedestrian fatalities at their highest rate in 30 years. On average, a pedestrian is killed every 84 minutes, which equates to 17 people a day. Drivers who are distracted, impaired, speeding, or don’t follow the rules of the road put pedestrians at risk. Pedestrians who do not pay attention to surrounding traffic or abide by traffic signals increase their risk for a pedestrian-vehicle collision. Staying alert and practicing defensive walking strategies can reduce these collisions and save lives.
