3 Anchorage Assembly members propose road safety measures due to rising pedestrian fatalities.

Three Anchorage Assembly members are advocating for measures to enhance road safety amid a rise in pedestrian fatalities, which have reached 13 this year. They propose improved lighting, a speed limit reduction to 35 mph on high-risk roads, and a public education campaign. Anchorage ranks among the deadliest U.S. cities for pedestrians. While some support these changes, others argue that pedestrian behavior also plays a role in safety.
