Pedestrian Awareness Week Coming Up

Keep your eyes open – whether you’re driving or walking.  Next week is another statewide awareness campaign from the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety.  Their focus will be on pedestrian awareness.  The coalition says 98 pedestrians were killed in Missouri last year, while 264 were seriously injured.  The top contributing factors were failure to yield, alcohol or drug impairment, and distraction or inattention.  More information is available at www.savemolives.com.
