Pedestrian injuries and deaths were down during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, now that more drivers are returning to the roads as “stay-at-home” orders are relaxed, pedestrian crashes are beginning to increase. Drivers who fail to yield and stop for pedestrians may face a $164 dollar ticket and 3 points on their license. Originally aired on Spectrum News 13 on July 21, 2020.
