Pedestrian Safety - A National Issue
In 2023, 7,318 Americans lost their lives while walking, up over 14% from 2019 for pedestrians, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). That is more than 20 people every day. Experts say that drivers and pedestrians are more distracted than ever with smartphones and headphones and that many streets are not designed properly for walkers creating dangerous conditions. GHSA Study
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that there were over 60,000 pedestrians injured in traffic crashes in the U.S. in 2021. NHTSA Report
Studies done by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) determined that crosswalk flags are up to 80% effective at stopping cars when used by pedestrians using them at crosswalks. TRB Report
A study completed in Las Vegas indicated a significant association between the use of pedestrian crosswalk flags and increased driver yielding. Drivers were more likely to yield to pedestrians carrying pedestrian crosswalk flags, both when the pedestrian indicated the intention to cross and when they were already in the roadway.

The See Me Flags Story
See Me Flags was invented by a father and daughter who needed to solve the problem of a dangerous crosswalk in their neighborhood for pedestrians. Their county nor state would not help solve the crosswalk safety problem. They took it upon themselves to create See Me Flags, a crosswalk safety system.
Now, they are installed from Florida to Maine and Southern California to Washington helping keeping pedestrians a bit safer.
