Over 12 hours, I will travel to the <a href="http://bit.ly/osped1" rel="nofollow">12 most dangerous intersections in Central Florida</a>, warning pedestrians of the dangers they face by walking across them. I will then attempt to cross each intersection at least once. 79 pedestrians were killed in vehicle crashes at all 12 intersections in 2007 and 2008. Walking is my primary mode of transportation. However, due to the time constraints of this one day project, I will be driving to all 12 intersections. Pedestrian, or Walking: Impossible is being resumed, in a revised form, on Tue 1 Dec 2009.
