Whether you're walking around campus or driving, pedestrian safety is something you should be aware of. Christopher Sells has more in this Bobcat Update.
In battles of man versus car, the car is almost always the winner. Knowing this, it's important to try to avoid confrontations altogether. But on a campus the size of Texas State with a student population of nearly 30-thousand, this is easier said than done. Laws are broken and safety precautions are overlooked. And then the finger pointing begins.
Standup: But when it comes to issues involving vehicles and pedestrians, there's plenty of blame to go around.

Pedestrians disobey traffic laws and drivers don't yield the right of way. And in the end, a relationship that should be courteous ends up being adversarial. If everyone would be more careful and pay greater attention, the campus would be much safer.
SB
The University spends time repainting crosswalks and making sure that crossing signs are functional, but that's not enough. Each of us has to take on the responsibility of making sure that we're a part of the solution and not a part of the problem. That way, when someone asks, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" we can say "To get to the other side-- safely."
