Cedar Valley Does Not Need Another Pedestrian Fatality
Comments Off on Cedar Valley Does Not Need Another Pedestrian Fatality 
Days are becoming shorter. Sadly Cedar Falls and Waterloo both have experienced fatal pedestrian-car crashes in recent years. Most of our area fatalities have been during dark hours of the day. Some have involved alcohol. Alcohol impairs a pedestrian just like it impairs a driver. Pedestrian and bicyclist must help others see them. Wear bright, reflective, and even fluorescent colors. Wear safety retro-reflective gear. Carry something bright and even a light if possible. Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 6. Mornings will be darker. Don’t walk close to the edge of street with your back to traffic.
