“Marissa Valeri, chair of the Rockville Pedestrian Advocacy Committee, had previously stated to MoCo360 that RPAC observed through its data that Viers Mill and Rockville Pike were the two of the most dangerous roads in terms of traffic collisions and pedestrians and bicyclists being hit.”

“People are almost blasé about [pedestrian and bicyclist collisions],” said Marissa Valeri, chair of the Rockville Pedestrian Advocacy Committee. “And I don’t think folks think through that a critical injury is not a fatality moment [but] these are serious implications for individuals for the rest of their life.”
