July 7, 2021
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is attempting to put an end to pedestrian fatalities.
“Our philosophy is simple, one death is one too many,” Officer Robert Hydrick said. “Pedestrian fatalities are really preventable.”
Since the start of 2021, Macon-Bibb County already has 9 pedestrians deaths. Officer Hydrick says that number put the Office of Highway Safety on alert.
“Macon-Bibb County is one of the top 10 or 12 counties in the state for pedestrian roadway fatalities,” Hydrick explained.
When driving around Macon, you may notice bright yellow billboards that show a person on a crosswalk. This is the Highway Safety Office’s latest attempt to alert drivers to slow down and look for people crossing the road.
