A part of the Texas Department of Transportation’s Be Safe. Drive Smart. campaign, street teams of “walking billboards” displayed key safety messages for drivers and pedestrians today, Monday, Oct. 6, at intersections along U.S. Hwy 287 in Childress.

By providing data and clear safety tips for drivers and pedestrians alike, TxDOT hopes to prevent crashes, especially during the fall and winter months, when pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries tend to peak as daylight hours decrease.

In fact, October is the deadliest month for pedestrians. In October 2024, 89 people were killed while walking on Texas roads and another 143 suffered serious injuries.

The key message for drivers and pedestrians is simple: Stay alert, follow traffic laws and watch out for one another.
