Pedestrian Safety
Everyone is a pedestrian at some point. Every time you leave your house, walk into a store, cross the street with your child, go for a jog or walk through a park, you are a pedestrian.
Unfortunately, after reaching a record low in 2009, the number of pedestrians killed on our roads has been trending upward ever since. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,374 pedestrians were killed on our roads in 2018 – a 55% increase since 2009 and the largest number in any year since 1990. You might walk for fun, for your health, or as a means of transportation. Whatever the reason, everyone is a pedestrian at some point, and everyone plays a role in keeping our roadways safe.
