Each of us plays an important role in pedestrian safety Any street crossing can put a pedestrian in the path of a motor vehicle whose driver may not be paying attention or may not have the time to avoid a pedestrian who suddenly steps into their path.

Whether you are walking or driving, each of us plays a key role in keeping pedestrians safe.
