People walk everywhere in Boulder — across Broadway, 28th Street, and Arapahoe Avenue, near schools and campuses, and through busy parking lots. With CU campus traffic and canyon-road commuting, drivers in Boulder County too often fail to yield, and a pedestrian struck by a vehicle almost always comes away with the more serious injuries.
