Is ANYONE Safe on Missouri Roads???

HURT? LET US HELP YOU!

Northland Injury Law: https://www.northlandinjurylaw.com/

As Missouri enters spring, pedestrian fatalities are on the rise, with a 16% increase in 2024. While motorist fatalities have decreased, the lack of pedestrian infrastructure in urban areas like Kansas City, combined with dangerous road designs, poses significant risks. Experts advocate for "road diets," which reduce vehicle lanes to create safer spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. Despite resistance, these changes could reduce fatalities, improve traffic flow, and foster a healthier community. Efforts like Kansas City's Vision Zero initiative aim to eliminate traffic deaths by 2030, emphasizing the need for safer, more inclusive road designs.
