McALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Several cities across Texas, including McAllen, were chosen to participate in a statewide campaign advocating for bicycle and pedestrian safety. The Texas Department of Transportation 'Be Smart Campaign' is reminding drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists to follow the rules of the road and to stay alert at all times. The statewide campaign is an initiative of the Texas Department of Transportation to reduce pedestrian and bike crashes in the state. 'Unfortunately, in our area, the McAllen-Brownsville South Texas region, too often we're seeing bicyclists and pedestrians being killed on our roadways,' Ray Pedraza, public information officer for the TxDOT Pharr district said.
