Bicyclist and Pedestrian Awareness
Last year 88 people died walking or cycling on our Virginia roadways. In addition, 621 cyclists and 1,585 pedestrians were injured. A single death or injury is one too many. Increasing knowledge of roadway regulations and safe behaviors may help reduce those numbers.
DRIVE SMART VIRGINIA and BikeWalk Virginia, are working together to help improve understanding and create awareness of ways to reduce roadway injuries and fatalities. Funding for the awareness campaign is being provided by the Virginia Highway Safety Office at DMV. September 11-17th, 2011 is Virginia’s third annual Bicyclist and Pedestrian Awareness Week.
Companies, please become a safety partner!
