Do you feel that a
Pedestrian Safety Campaign is needed in your community, but you just
don't know where to start? |

| The
Federal Highway Administration's Pedestrian Safety Campaign Planner
is a FREE ready-made toolkit of outreach materials that States and
communities can customize and use locally. The threefold purpose of the
campaign is to (1) sensitize drivers to the fact that pedestrians are
legitimate road users and should always be expected on or near the
roadway, (2) educate pedestrians about minimizing risks to their safety,
and (3) develop program materials to explain or enhance the operation of
pedestrian facilities, such as crosswalks and pedestrian signals. |
