seattle bride best of 2009

The agonizing crisis catapulted Ms. broken body attest Chau 106 feet from the point of impact.

Every second of fatal trauma plays as a violent film in slow motion for Ms. Chau horrified children and her husband, who dragged a few inches behind the pedestrian passage.

arrival only keeps the whole family to be brutally crushed by the accident and while the lady of the land now completed Chau struggles, anguish and anxiety just beginning for survivors of this disaster, including the man who killed her.

Another one bites the dust

Sixty-eight thousand pedestrians are injuries on U.S. highways each year based on the 2009 report of the U.S. Department of Transportation and taking a walk on the dangerous modes of transport when we contemplate the deaths per kilometer traveled.

But most people feel that walking is dangerous?

In 2010, vehicles / Pedestrian conflicts at crosswalks U.S. will accumulate more than 5,000 battered bodiesof innocent men, women and children who were simply pursuing their activities when mortally wounded.

And given the large number of good people to bite the bullet just to cross the street with blood, is probably not a bad idea to consider declaring war on everyone in the crosswalk, if we actually save lives.

Mayhem meets misery

One of my main arguments against standing just crosswalks is that every human being suffers from a blind spot and biological inevitable if people are actually affected the visual driving, we wheeled light shade to walk boldly in the eye?

All this for people to step up the cars roaring was designed in London in 1868 but did not take the drivers already behind long to realize that people most foot traffic seem to have their own time Fresh across the street.

In a few months of being installed, the control equipment is eliminated and life returns to normal chaos system which runs every camper to make their own possibilities.

Good thinking, "I said.

Today, pedestrian crossings are ubiquitous and almost all users are seen as a vehicle without giving areas neglected the right to require through traffic almost at will. It is this notion of invincibility area of security that is so deadly and numerous studies have shown The result of this attitude of invulnerability to be a major concern:

  • Walkinginfo.org study showed about two out of three people hit by vehicles in New York intersections are crossing with the light.
  • Residents of the Cross "Do not be working hard – Some people in Wilmington, North Carolina has a pedestrian striking new crossing is not working and want it gone.
  • State plans to eliminate the risk of Paseo de la Cruz – Seattle removes a pedestrian crossing after two girls were beaten
  • Safer for pedestrians in crosswalks when crossing unmarked Report 2007 Halifax, Nova Scotia on pedestrian safety
  • older person can be beaten 3.6 times higher in the fields marked – State of Hawaii review of older adults
  • Eight times more pedestrian accidents at intersections mark – the city of Twin Falls Security Research of pedestrians

Although these stories are painful to acknowledge, much suffering is happening outside the crosswalk lines.

Each day, hundreds collisions occur that pilots are complete rear brake when the unexpected activity of pedestrians invisible. These accidents and injuries that are not included because in most studies analyzing the safety of pedestrians.

Take a walk on the wild side

Here are my suggestions on how they can quickly reduce human misery and vegetables, mix into separate crossings Pedestrians:

1 -. Let to use that only at the crossing controlled intersections where vehicles are expected to meet traffic. Learn everything you want to do the same.

2. Encourage your enemies crosswalks – to encourage opponents to ride the crest ridiculous extent possible, to become familiar with his new team as soon as possible. And knowing what we know now, we do not have to wait long …

But seriously, when I consider that someone is smoking in a crosswalk Every two minutes I feel sick.

Please give yourself a chance Ms. Chau and his family never will be.

A walk to the corner and in vivo.

Thanks, my friend.
