Health Insurance Crisis is Hitting 50-64 Age Group HardRest Easy with Safer Roads
The roads in the First State will be a little safer thanks to the University of Delaware’s Delaware Senior Safety education campaign to raise awareness of the safety benefits of roadways modifications for older drivers.
The safety campaign is a collaborative effort between the University and the Roadway Safety Foundation. It aims to make effective roadway changes and signage improvements that will not only assist older drivers, but also make driving easier for the entire community.
“Safe driving makes our communities more livable for all, but especially for those 50+,” says Lucretia Young, AARP State Director. “For older Americans, driving is their way to stay connected to social networks. Communities should facilitate driving by older individuals and improve the travel environment, support driver education and promote safe driving throughout the life span.”
