A surprising fact: about a third of all pedestrian deaths are drunk pedestrians.

I'd really like to see a campaign about how it's not safe to walk home drunk. People should Uber home after drinking if at all possible.

Another interesting fact from the CDC: most pedestrians killed are crossing city streets, at night, and not at intersections.

This is also something we can improve with education -- we should inform people of the risks of jay walking at night, just as we've informed people about wearing safety belts and not driving drunk.
