The Washington Post asks Why Southern Cities are more Dangerous for PEDs... Pedestrian fatalities are a problem of design. And that makes them much harder to address. That means instead of retrofitting our vehicles with better technology, we need to retrofit streets and neighborhoods in some fundamental ways. We need to put sidewalks where they dont exist. We need to engineer roads that arent so easily traveled at 50 miles an hour. We need to design intersections that prioritize both people and cars. We need to build places as if we actually think people might want to walk there -- something weve seldom done along major arterial roads and commercial strips. washingtonpost/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/05/21/why-southern-cities-are-so-much-more-dangerous-for-pedestrians/
