Deadly Highway Crash Kills Pedestrian Amid Kansas City Walktober

This month "Walktober" attempts to get locals off the sofa and into the street.

However . . .

In Kansas City we have a consistent problem with people walking on busy highways and in the middle of major intersections.

This problem is worsened by "activists" who blame every crash on drivers and demand more government funding for their pet projects. 

Sadly, bike lanes are not the panacea.

Not every tragic crash is the result of bad urban planning and CERTAINLY amateur solutions can't totally eliminate risk to drivers, walkers and cyclists when they venture into local streets.

And so we remind pedestrians and cyclist to protect their safety as well.
