► I WAS WALKING Bob, my border collie-mix. At a four-way intersection, a gray Ford F-150 approached on the street we wanted to cross.But the truck wasn't slowing down."Stop," I said. And Bob, like a good boy, obeyed.That's when I saw it: the truck's driver - a middle-aged man- was staring at his phone.This adult did not come to a complete stop. He did not look right and notice Bob and me. He did not even look left. He rolled the stop sign without taking his eyes off his phone.In this issue, we focus on safety, and later this month, we recognize National Work Zone Awareness Week (April 17-21).Between 2019 and 2020, fatal crashes in work zones increased by 1.4%, and fatal crashes outside work zones increased by 6.6%, according to the Federal Highway Administration. |
