    Pedestrians take their lives into their own hands when they are out along side these busy thoroughfares, its dangerous enough out there ,what with all of the texting and cell phone use…Pedestrians please you cannot for one second assume that those operating motor vehicles are going to be 100% focused on their driving…A tragic loss of life…
