When getting from point A to point B blurs the line of a pedestrian path one man is there carving a path of freedom. Pedestrian traffic is serious business and no one fights for the right of way with the same swagger as The Crosswalking Kid. In 2008, 112 pedestrians were killed, accounting for 20% of all fatalities in Maryland. In 70% of the pedestrian fatalities, the pedestrians were at fault, according to police crash reports. 73% of the fatal pedestrian-involved crashes occur in the dark. Of the pedestrians killed, 40% were alcohol-impaired. Over 75% of the pedestrians killed were males. So if it’s dark, you’ve had a few, and you have an adam’s apple you might want to look for the orange vest and the bright smile of Graham Coreil-Allen before you take those first steps.
