The 3,373 people killed in the first half of 2023 as reported by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) is on pace to make it the deadliest year ever \u2013 surpassing the record in 2022 and increasing the nearly 60% overall growth in pedestrian fatalities in the last decade.<\/p>\n

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month<\/p>\n

There has been an alarming increase in the number of pedestrians killed in the months of October November and December.\u00a0 These are the months when it starts\u00a0to get darker earlier and stay dark longer and studies show darkness and low visibility play a significant role in pedestrian deaths. In fact, more than 70 percent\u00a0of fatalities happen in low-light conditions, particularly at night. In addition to the Pedestrian Safety Institute, Maglite is proud to have the American Paramedic Association, Citizens Behind the Badge, the U.S. Deputy Sheriffs Association, the lead economist of the Drucker School,\u00a0Jay Prag, America’s Criminologist Dr. Currie Myers, and legal scholar\u00a0John Tulac\u00a0joining in this mission to illuminate the dangers facing pedestrians and solutions.<\/p>\n

National Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month was created by the Pedestrian Safety Institute with the goal of educating and urging drivers to use caution while driving during this time of year.<\/p>\n

“There are simple ways to reduce the number of pedestrian deaths due to pedestrian traffic accidents \u2013 pedestrians should carry a bright flashlight, wear reflective clothing and be cautious, especially around fast-moving traffic,” said\u00a0Tony Maglica, founder and CEO of Mag Instrument, Inc., manufacturer of the Maglite\u00ae Flashlight.<\/p>\n
