Every school day, millions of children make their way across busy streets to reach the classroom. For many, it’s a quick and safe journey. But for our most vulnerable pedestrians: young children, students with disabilities, and those unfamiliar with the area, crossing a street can be one of the most dangerous moments of the day. At PedSafety, our mission is to ensure these moments are safe, accessible, and stress-free. Specialized crossing solutions are the key to making school zones not just compliant with safety regulations but truly designed for the people who need them most.

Designing truly accessible pedestrian crossings goes beyond simply complying with regulatory standards. It requires a deep understanding of varied mobility needs and a strong commitment to universal design principles. At PedSafety, we’re committed to creating crossing solutions that not only meet but exceed ADA requirements, ensuring safe, respectful, and inclusive access for people of all abilities, ages, and those using assistive technologies.

April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month, a time to spotlight a serious and preventable danger on our roads. At PedSafety, we believe that everyone deserves to arrive home safely. This statement takes on special urgency when we examine one of distracted driving’s most dangerous outcomes, failure to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. Despite clearly marked crosswalks and established right-of-way laws, driver yielding compliance remains inconsistent across communities. Understanding this behavior is essential to creating safer streets for everyone.

Ensuring pedestrian safety is a fundamental aspect of urban planning, and five U.S. cities have set the gold standard with bold policies, innovative infrastructure, and cutting-edge technology. By prioritizing people over cars, these cities have reshaped their streets to be safer, more accessible, and more equitable for all. Their success stories not only save lives but also provide a blueprint for other municipalities striving to create walkable, bike-friendly communities.
