Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This article discusses pedestrian safety, and focuses on the dangers posed to pedestrians who travel along the U.S. national highway system circa 1946. The position is taken that pedestrian safety was not considered an important design element of the U.S. national highway system, the designers of which strictly focused on the safe and rapid movement of motor vehicles from one destination to another. It is strongly encouraged that in the future, pedestrian sidewalks and underpasses be made an integral part of rural and urban highway design.
