Every Corner is a Crosswalk

In the City of Roanoke, too many pedestrians are hurt or killed in crashes with cars. To help decrease pedestrian-involved crashes, the City of Roanoke applied for and received a Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles grant to create a citywide pedestrian safety campaign. The eight-week campaign ran from July 13 – September 4, 2020, with the goals of:

• Reducing the number of crashes between vehicles and people walking
• Increasing compliance with Virginia state law at crosswalks for both drivers and pedestrians
