There has been a 56% increase in pedestrian fatalities over the past 10 years in Alabama, which is nothing to take lightly, according to Jeremy Burkett with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA).

“Oftentimes, people don’t necessarily think about pedestrian safety,” Burkett said about ALEA’s effort to raise awareness regarding pedestrian safety.
