    More than 4,500 people died last year while crossing the street, walking to school, going to the bus stop, or strolling to the grocery store. Partly out of traffic safety fears, people are walking less these days, with serious consequences for our weight and health. Communities that choose to change road policies and invest in safer designs see fewer deaths and injuries.

    and invest in safer designs see fewer deaths and injuries, even as they
    make their neighborhoods more livable and invite more people to walk and
