Pedestrian Safety

I once saw a woman walk in front of a car, hold up her hand and yell, "Hey, I'm a pedestrian." That she was, and yes, pedestrians have the right-of-way, but what if that driver hadn't been paying attention? Crash. Just like defensive driving, pedestrians need to be alert at all times.

For many college students, walking is their primary transit. Just as in driving, pedestrians need to constantly be aware of their surroundings.

Drinking and driving. Please don't.

Is drinking and walking a positive alternative?

Many people think walking home is the responsible thing to do after drinking. Slow reaction times, getting lost, causing trouble, and ignoring traffic are only a few of the dangers accompanying this mode of transportation.
