SAFETY BRIGHT IS PUSHING, TOO
As the article below by Jessica Bartlett shows, even when an issue is addressed the results are not always as successful as we would hope. This is as true with Pedestrian mishaps as anything else. That’s why SafetyBright, who specializes in safety clothing, is constantly emphasizing the need for Pedestrians to ensure that they are being seen. They promote the use of high visibility clothing for this purpose, such as a high visibility jacket or high visibility vest.They know that bright, reflective clothing such as a runners safety vest can go a long way towards pedestrian safety.
Pedestrian accidents defy safety push
With at least 95 pedestrian accidents in the books this year, Quincy’s efforts for walker safety have not gone well. The number of accidents is the highest in recent years, with 71 in 2011, and 49 in 2010. Collisions range from the minor to the fatal, and officials are concerned. Safety efforts have been ongoing all year, having first started in April with education campaigns in schools and enforcement efforts on drivers. Though 242 motorists were stopped during this heightened patrol effort, and 182 citations handed out, the accidents continued. Depending on whom you ask, the problem is either with the careless and aggressive drivers, or the haphazard pedestrians who cross streets as if Quincy were an idyllic country town. Regardless of who is at fault, the City Council has made it a New Year’s resolution to find answers, and is planning to meet with public safety officials, public works employees, and the mayor’s office in the next few months to discuss solutions.
