Crosswalk Safety Awareness Day

Founded nine years ago in Fayetteville in an effort to keep pedestrians and motorists safe at crosswalks, this day is recognized across the state of Arkansas.

On Wednesday, October 12 the Fayetteville community will focus attention on crosswalk safety.

Fayetteville resident Paula Marinoni had the idea for Crosswalk Safety Awareness Day, and she is still actively involved in planning and participating in the event.

FPS administrators and school board members will participate in the event. Crosswalks around Fayetteville will be marked with a "Crosswalk Safety Awarness Day" sign.

Join us on October 12 and take special caution with walking or driving through a crosswalk. Here's hoping there is never another crosswalk accident in Fayetteville!
