Florida Pedestrian and Bicycle Strategic Safety Plan
FHP asks for Public’s Help in Fatal Hit-and-Run Orlando Pedestrian Accident
Orlando pedestrian accident attorneys are growing increasingly concerned that recent efforts to protect pedestrians and bicyclists from being struck and injured or killed are falling short of their goals. In February 2013, the Florida Department of Transportation released their Florida Pedestrian and Bicycle Strategic Safety Plan, which provided a framework for reducing fatalities and injuries on Florida roadways. State safety officials began the study after data showed that Florida pedestrian accident fatality rates were nearly double the national average and bicycle accident fatality rates were nearly triple the national average.
