So this is what happened last night..
Last night when I was driving home from my Chiropractic of in Germantown, MD, I almost witnessed a horrible accident. What appeared to be a man, dressed all in black, decided to cross a major street, Route 118, not at a cross walk, but in the middle of a dimly lit section of the road. A vehicle slammed on their brakes and was able to avoid him. The evening prior I saw a similarly dressed individual crossing at a cross walk, good job, but unfortunately he was crossing on a red light. This caused the vehicle that was turning onto that street to have to slam on their brakes to avoid him, and almost get rear ended himself for the life saving gesture.
It is now getting dark earlier and earlier, and I understand that black jackets are more fashionable then neon green, but it is almost impossible to see someone until you are upon them in this scenario. Germantown does not have the great lighting on it's streets, and vehicles tend to travel at or above the 40 MPH speed limits, this will put any pedestrian into danger when they are at a location that they are completely unexpected. Please use cross walks and then only use them when as a pedestrian you have the right away. Saving 30 seconds is not worth getting hurt or even losing your life. Sure, if you get struck by a car, depending on your injuries, I may be able to help you, but I would much rather have you remain safe and healthy. Flesh is much more fragile then metal.
Now if you think that this only happens to someone else, not you, why take a chance.
Recently, a student at Seneca Valley High School was struck and killed when she crossed Rout 118 against a red light while going to school. This is a tragedy and a heart break that as a parent I cannot even begin to imagine. That 30-60 second wait until it is safe to cross the street may keep the unimaginable pain of losing a loved one from occurring in your family.
