The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been working hard to increase pedestrian safety. From infrastructure improvements including more medians and redesigned roadways to raising awareness about the dangers to pedestrians and bicyclists, FHWA in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) looks to provide leadership, expertise, and resources to communities across America to combat pedestrian related crashes. Below are just a few safety tips for pedestrians, courtesy of the NHTSA.
The statistics don’t lie. There have been more that 400 pedestrian deaths in Nevada since 2011. It’s an ePEDemic in our state and we can all help reduce these numbers. Watch out for each other on our roads. Make Zero Fatalities your goal. Drive safe Nevada!
