Benbrook residents, safety on the road isn’t just about drivers—it’s about everyone.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is ramping up its “Be Safe. Drive Smart.” campaign this spring to combat the alarming rise in pedestrian and cyclist deaths across the state.
Over the past five years, pedestrian fatalities have increased by 22%, while bicyclist deaths have surged 58%. These tragedies highlight the urgent need for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians to work together to prevent more lives from being lost.
TxDOT’s campaign spreads safety awareness through statewide initiatives, including “walking billboards”—teams delivering critical safety messages in high-risk areas. The goal is simple: make Texas roads safer for all, and here’s how you can help save lives.
This initiative is part of TxDOT’s larger “Drive Like a Texan” campaign, encouraging all road users to be kind, courteous, and safe behind the wheel. By making smart choices and looking out for one another, Texans can help end these preventable tragedies.
