South Carolina's Pedestrian Crisis

Leaders are being called out for ignoring the scale, comparing it to a national emergency elsewhere. Racial disparities are glaring: Indigenous people face triple the national average risk, and Black Americans are also disproportionately affected. This isn’t just about roads—it’s a systemic failure we can’t afford to ignore. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
