The Pedestrian Bill of Rights

On January 27, 1995, I was in an Auto/Pedestrian accident on 3300 South 300 East. As a result of the accident I received a Traumatic Brain Injury and Pelvic Fracture. A lot of Motorist Refuse to Slow Down for Pedestrians. I have almost been hit again by Motorists Several Times Since my Accident.

1. Pedestrians have the right to where they need to go Safely.

2. Pedestrians have the right to take public transportation in safety.

3. Pedestrians have the right to go for a Walk in Safety.

4. Pedestrians have a right to cross the street in a Crosswalk Safety,(that's why
the Crosswalk are there).

5. Motorists need to Slow Down, be aware of Pedestrians, and be Pedestrian
Friendly.

6. Red Lights should be Longer in order to be Pedestrian Friendly.

7. Crosswalks should be Totally Visible and Well-Lighted to be Pedestrians
Friendly.

8. All Major Roadways should have Sidewalks in order to be Pedestrians Friendly.

PEDESTRIANS ARE PEOPLE TOO!!!! Pedestrians can be the Disabled the Elderly, someone who cannot or chosen not drive, or maybe even your own Child. Pedestrians are part of the Community. In the last 15 year since my Accident Pedestrian Safety and our Bus System is even Worse. There more Traffic Grid Lock and road rage. The Accident that have been March 11, 2010, with the Trax Train with more Trax Line coming those kind Accidents going be have been even more and also Increase in Auto/Pedestrian Accidents. OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING.

9. A GOOD TRANSIT SYSTEM WORKS ON BARRIER FREE, BENCHES AND SHELTERS.

10.A GOOD TRANSIT SYSTEM HELPS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT TO GO SHOPPING, HELPS INCREASE SALE TAX.

I Challenge Everyone to become a Pedestrian and take Public Transportation for a Week.
