Picture
While we hope techniques and technologies can be developed to reduce driver error, seeking behavior change alone is unlikely to prove sufficiently effective. Drivers are fallible and always hold the potential to make mistakes. Installing adequate barriers in front of vulnerable buildings is one way to protect pedestrians, customers and employees of storefront businesses. The Council is open to all input and encourages knowledgeable stakeholders to contribute suggestions and case study examples of effective solutions.
