People who love the outdoors may be inclined to walk or run out on Dallas, Texas public roadways. There might be several reasons for participating in these activities, such as sightseeing or not having to pay for gas on a short trip. They are also a good form of exercise and may be appealing to someone wanting to stay or become healthy.
However, being exposed near busy roadways can be dangerous, as motorists may be impaired, negligent or inattentive. Close to 6,000 pedestrians were struck and killed in 2017, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Between January 2017 and June 2017 in Texas, there were approximately 263 pedestrian deaths. That’s the 13th highest in the country according to the State Highway Safety Offices.
