VIDEO: Why is Crossing the Street So Dangerous in America?

You’ve seen campaigns that seek to educate people who walk about how to cross the street safely.

Wear bright colors.

Wear high-viz.

Carry a bright flag.

Look twice.

We’ve got to fix this, and it won’t come down to what people are wearing. It has to do with how streets are built.
