Pedestrian safety

Pedestrians are among the most at-risk road users because they don't have the protection of airbags, safety belts, and bumpers. All of us share a responsibility to help keep each other safe, whether you're driving down the road or walking in your neighborhood.

TxDOT’s traffic safety campaigns are an important part of Drive like a Texan’s call to embrace the pride, camaraderie, and responsibility of being a Texan on the road. By making thoughtful choices, we can all help keep each other safe.
