SPearNo, it’s not New York. New York is actually one of the most pedestrian-friendly cities in the US. The four most pedestrian-unfriendly cities are all
in Florida - Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville.
The reason for Florida’s poor ranking? The nonprofit group Transportation America cites the state’s urban sprawl and road design. In the past, Florida’s roads were designed to move lots of traffic as quickly as possible without much thought of pedestrian safety.
Fortunately, Florida’s city planners have begun to add sidewalks, crosswalk signs and speed bumps to their roads in an effort to lower the number of pedestrian deaths on Florida roads.
Seton sells a variety of products to increase pedestrian safety including crosswalk signs, speed bumps and pavement marking products.
