Since January 1st of this year 13 pedestrians have died in traffic related crashes in Delaware. That number is higher than at this time last year. This is particularly alarming because it is only mid-year, with the fall season yet to come – a time of year when travel and traffic increases, day light hours get shorter and sun glare becomes an issue, bringing an increased risk for more pedestrian and motor vehicle crashes.

Dedicated overtime patrols start July 21st and run through August 8th.
