CONCERNS ABOUT PEDESTRIAN BEHAVIOUR
Living in a country town in the Hunter Valley, I am increasingly concerned by the reckless pedestrian behaviour which I witness daily as I drive into town.
Pedestrians using the quiet back streets give no thought to the foolishness of walking with their backs to the vehicles approaching from behind. They have no visual opportunity to take evasive action, if possible, to escape serious injury.
To make matters worse, many walkers have music or podcasts blaring through their headphones. So, no visual or auditory warning.
Let's bring back the old jingle and teach our kids: "ALWAYS WALK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD".
