'The tragic fatalities this year are a sobering reminder of how important it is for pedestrians to follow safe street-crossing practices,' said Sgt. Ben Haines, supervisor of SPD's Traffic Unit. 'Pedestrian safety is about being informed and cautious, and we encourage everyone to follow the laws designed to keep them safe.
