Pedestrian Safety Message – Week 3 – Safer Vehicles

Pedestrian Safety is intended to raise awareness about the safety of people walking throughout the month, emphasizing that “safe drivers, safe speeds and safe vehicles save lives.”

As you may know, the State of Delaware has one of the highest per-capita pedestrian fatality rates in the nation.

Week 3 of Pedestrian Safety focuses on the Safer Vehicles aspect.  This objective looks at vehicle solutions with vehicles that provide occupant crash protection and technology can help prevent crashes from occurring in the first place.

Safe Vehicles, encourages the public to learn about the new lifesaving technologies that can help protect pedestrians, including pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear backup cameras, pedestrian-friendly front structures, and better headlights for identifying pedestrians.
