Be Kind to Pedestrians!
Be kind to pedestrians! Too many drivers today are in too much of a rush and don’t take the time to be considerate when it comes to others who are walking, running or riding bicycles. As time goes on, more and more people are going to be using other forms of transportation to get themselves to and from work. This includes their legs! Too many times, drivers on the road feel that they always have the right of way and fail to yield to pedestrians who are waiting patiently to cross the street. Even the most careful pedestrians are still at risk of being involved in a car accident- even when it was clearly not their fault! It shouldn’t be any surprise, therefore, to see that there are millions of people each year who are killed simply by walking, riding a bike, rollerblading or running as a part of their everyday routine. I know that I tend to avoid running on roadways whenever I can- especially if it is during rush hour…because you never know!
