The Dangers of Pedestrian Accidents
Walking is a great source of exercise and it helps the environment the less often you use a vehicle or take public transportation. However, being on foot can be quite dangerous, especially when walking on or near Route 130 on any stretch of the highway in Camden County or throughout New Jersey.
You have no protection when on foot from passing vehicles. Drivers also do not tend to see people when moving at 60 MPH or more on Route 130, even if they are in crosswalks. If you absolutely must walk to and from the store, work, or the doctor’s office, please be mindful of your surroundings and only cross at marked crosswalks with traffic lights.
