No one has the right to cross the street on foot. Because they are helpless and weak, they are the most likely to get poorly hurt or die in a disaster.

In California, the number of accidents involving pedestrians has increased recently. In 2017, about 1,200 people died while walking, a 25% rise from 2016.
